Is there a way around this?
Recently, a user was able to successfully add a member to his Costco membership!
Warning: We have not personally tested this method, and it may or may not work for you.
He wanted to include his sister in his Costco membership, but they didn’t live together. So he changed his address on his Costco profile to her address and added her as an additional card holder.
He then sent his sister to the Costco warehouse’s membership counter. The employee at the membership counter confirmed both members’ addresses. She also received her membership card because the addresses were the same.
After receiving the membership card, the primary user changed the address back to his address.
