What Is Costco’s Return Policy?

Returns are inevitable wherever you shop - even Costco. Whether a product didn’t live up to expectations, something was faulty, or you just don’t have use for the item, we all have had to make a return. 

While Costco is home to magnificent finds at great prices, it’s important to understand how to return anything to the store. As generous as it is known to be, there are some very important caveats (the one on jewelry may surprise you). So, we’ve rounded up everything you need to know about Costco’s return policy in one place. 

Hot Dog & Soda Combo - a Members-Only Delicacy? 🌭🥤

Costco's famous $1.50 hot dog and soda combo might become a members-only privilege soon, as the warehouse chain tightens its food court access policy.

While some locations currently allow non-members to purchase food court items, recent signs suggest a shift towards stricter enforcement.

A photo shared on Reddit from a Costco in Orlando unveiled an impending change. (Other Redditors shared that this was happening already at their stores as well.) The sign announced that starting April 8, 2024, an active Costco membership would be required for food court purchases.

Do you think this is a good policy - or should non-members be able to buy food at the food court? Let us know in the poll below. 👇👇👇
