Costco only takes Visa.
- chiyc 4y agoI want to say that's a relatively recent change.
- ridgered4 4y agoYes, sometime within the last 5 years they broke their long partnership with AMEX. It seems to be Citibank now.
- ianai 4y agoHave to wonder whether it’ll change in another 5 years. Making 4% back on gas is mega killer though.
- AdmiralAsshat 4y agoMy understanding is that they changed because Citi offered them a better deal.[0] That said, I do kinda miss the Amex and its automatic extended warranty.

- subliminalpanda 4y agoIn Canada they only accepted Mastercard for some time.
- unixhero 4y agoWrong It takes American Express too.
- mcronce 4y agoThey used to be AmEx only. They're now Visa only.
- unixhero 4y agoI paid with Amex at Costco yesterday.

AmEx not listed anywhere. Maybe yours does something different, or it's an AmEx branded debit card, or you're not in the US and they do something different abroad, but no Costco I've been to since the switch has accepted any credit card that isn't a Visa.

- jmacd 4y agoIn Canada it is Mastercard only. Used to be Amex.
