Yes, Costco does accept OTC cards for eligible purchases.
OTC cards, or Over-the-Counter cards, are commonly issued as part of health plans to help cover certain medical expenses. At Costco, you can use these cards to buy qualifying items such as vitamins, first aid supplies, and other approved health-related products.
It’s important to note that not all items in the store will qualify for purchase with OTC cards. Always check the specific eligibility of each item before making a purchase.
When you check out, just present your OTC card along with your membership card. The cashier will process the transaction, ensuring that you’re using your benefits correctly.
If you have questions about specific products or need assistance, Costco staff is generally very helpful and can guide you on which items are eligible for OTC payment.
Keep in mind that policies may vary by location, so it’s a good idea to confirm with your local Costco if you’re unsure about using your card there.
