Costco follows Netflix's lead, cracks down on membership card sharing

Costco is tightening its rules on account sharing by checking membership cards to ensure the photo matches the person at the checkout line. The company stated that it is unfair for non-members to receive the same benefits and pricing as members. If membership cards do not have a photo, customers will be asked to present a photo ID. Costco's profitability relies on its annual membership fees, which brought in $4.2 billion last year. The company operates at a lower margin than traditional retailers and is known for its bulk pricing and no-frills retail experience. Costco's crackdown follows Netflix's move to lock out piggyback users in May.
