| How To Use Costco App For Gas |
Step 1: Download the App, Unless You're a Digital Hermit
First things first, you'll need the Costco app. Unless you prefer living off the grid with carrier pigeons for communication (totally valid), download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
Pro Tip: Downloading the app is free, but the gas savings? Those are priceless (or at least pay for themselves in about two fill-ups).
Step 2: Signing In: Not as Dramatic as Witness Protection
Launching the app is like entering a digital Costco wonderland. But before you get lost in the aisles of virtual discounts, sign in with your existing Costco website account. If you're new to the digital party, creating an account is a breeze. It's not as intense as witness protection, but you might need to answer a security question that doesn't involve your childhood pet goldfish (sorry, Bubbles).
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
Step 3: Behold! The Magical Digital Membership Card
Once logged in, locate your digital membership card. This bad boy is your key to unlocking the gas pump's treasure trove of discounted fuel. Just like magic (or clever coding), it replaces the need for that bulky plastic card you keep forgetting at home.
Attention Frequent Flyers: You can also link your Costco Anywhere Visa credit card to the app for a seamless payment experience. Pumping gas has never felt so delightfully frictionless (and potentially dangerous, so please focus on the task at hand).
Step 4: Gas Station Intel: Preise Like a Boss
The Costco app isn't just a glorified digital card holder (although it excels at that too). You can actually use it to find nearby Costco gas stations and check their current prices. This intel is crucial for strategizing your fill-up and avoiding that awkward moment when you discover the price at the pump is higher than your gas gauge reading.
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
Warning: Using the app to boast about gas prices to your friends might lead to accusations of "showing off." Proceed with caution (and maybe throw in a complimentary Costco hot dog coupon to appease the masses).
Step 5: Conquering the Pump: You Got This!
Now, pull up to the pump like a seasoned pro (or at least someone who watched this guide). Grab your phone, open the Costco app, and find the digital membership card. Hold your phone's screen over the scanner at the pump, and voila! The magic of technology unlocks the gas-dispensing goodness.

Remember: Don't forget to fill your tank! It would be a real bummer to go through all this and end up with just a gallon of gas.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
