    But if you’re not scanning your card with the checkout, how do they know what you purchased? Scanning on entrance just confirms that you entered the store, while scanning with checkout was used to confirm what you purchased on that trip.

    Unless you’re using a Costco-issued card at checkout, too, I would have same question. And if you are still scanning at checkout, then this isn’t the time-saver they’re purporting.

      Yeah this is interesting. I might ask a manager about this on my next trip.

      The only things you can get without a membership card are prescription medications and alcohol. Someone would have to approve the purchase in order for it to be made in the first place. You have to scan your card at checkout, otherwise.

      It may not be a timesaver, but whenever I go to Costco I just keep the card in my pocket, outside of my wallet, anyway. Also they check your receipts and count your items before you leave.

        You really aren’t paying attention. The new policy may not require scanning at checkout because they’re scanning on entering. We aren’t talking about the current policy. The person knows how it works now. If you don’t scan at checkout though, and only when entering, then how do they link purchases to accounts?
