Presenting the Costco App: Your Knight in Shining Armor (or at Least Slightly Smudged Armor)
The Costco app is like a multi-tool for all your Costco needs, and that, my friends, includes gas station domination. Here's how to unleash its power:
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
-
Download the App: This might seem obvious, but hey, it's a crucial first step. It's like putting on your armor before battling a dragon...well, maybe a slightly less fire-breathing dragon, but a dragon nonetheless.
-
Become One with the App: Open the Costco app and navigate to the mystical land of "account settings." There, you'll find your digital membership card - a glorious QR code that holds the key to bypassing the physical card reader.
-
The Moment of Truth: Pull up to the pump, feeling like a medieval knight with your phone as your trusty steed. Locate the sacred QR code reader (usually a red blinking light) and scan your digital membership card with your phone.
-
Pay Up, Buttercup (But Digitally): Here comes the best part. You can either choose to pay with a credit card linked to your Costco account or manually enter a different card's information. Just follow the app's prompts - it's easier than conquering a maze made entirely of cheese (although that does sound pretty tempting).
-
Fuel Up and Ride Forth Victorious! Fill your tank, pat yourself on the back for your technological prowess, and ride off into the sunset (or at least back to Costco for that giant bag of gummy bears you couldn't resist).
Remember: This method only works for paying for gas, not for epic Costco shopping sprees within the warehouse itself. For those adventures, you'll still need your physical membership card.
Pro Tip: For an extra dose of convenience, consider linking your Costco Anywhere Visa® Card to the app. This way, you can breeze through the entire process without even needing to enter any payment information at the pump.
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
