Amazon being down would be extra PR. Costco’a instore credit card machines went down. Costco’s website, nowhere near a leader in e-commerce, and you already have to be a Costco customer - their site doesn’t generate new customers. The site going down, doesn’t generate enough press for the name recognition increase to increase amongst of new customers (infact it does the opposite) offset the negativity around dedicated customers not being able to access Costco accounts.
- tssva 7y agoDoesn't really affect the point you are making but you don't have to be a Costco member to purchase most items at their website. You will pay 5% more than non-members which can sometimes still be worth it.
- fpgaminer 7y agoThe website says that, but I've never seen them actually charge the 5% for me.

- fpgaminer 7y agoI've cross checked using a member account before; the price has always been the same.
