Yes, Costco does accept EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) cards for eligible food purchases.
Costco allows members to use EBT at their warehouse stores, but it’s important to note that EBT cannot be used for online purchases.
Only food items that are eligible under the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) can be purchased with EBT. This includes things like fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, and bread.

When shopping at Costco with EBT, make sure to have your card ready at checkout. Just like any other payment method, you’ll swipe your EBT card and enter your PIN to complete the transaction.
