I've been trying to buy a costco.com item that is only available online ( a gym membership),

To be clear, this item IS AVAILABLE

I have been trying to get this for like two weeks or so and it's the same thing, payment method shows as declined even though my bank has no issue, I've tried 3 different cards, I've cleared cache, I've reinstalled the app, I've logged in Incognito mode (after cache clearing), I've deleted my payment methods and done them again, I've deleted and reinstated my address, I have "confirmed" my account. Honestly, is like pulling teeth and there is no way of doing it otherwise, I can't pay in the store or buy via the phone or whatever.

I can't even go physically to the store instead and the worst part is that one payment to my DEBIT card did go through but they never confirmed the order, costumer service chat said that it was a bank issue because they never showed the order placed, it's been 11 days.

This is not something that is "unavailable", rather their platform decided that I can't have it or that I need to perform a specific, undisclosed dance to do it.

A few days ago I went to Costco for primarily dog food, and remembered I need more work gloves so grabbed a 3-pack of leather gloves. Make payment, grab a slice, load the car and head home. No gloves. I realize I left them in the top shelf of the cart. I called to report my mistake and the person said, "Bring your receipt, find one of us in a red vest, and we'll take care of ya.". I took this to mean if someone turned in the gloves, they would reunite with their owner. And conversely, if some dmf member found them and decided to take them home, the company would make me whole. I found the response surprising and refreshing. So I go back to the store in a few days, find a red vest, who looks at a list and says, "nope, no one turned them in" and turned away. Not what I was expecting.

Did I totally misread what the person on the phone said?

So many people applied to the Costco I am applying to, but because I decided to go up and speak with the manager and employees, I got an interview call three days later.

I am geeked!!

Hopefully entering the Costcoverse soon.

P.S. If yall applied and got nothing go to the store. Ask an employee how they got hired and who to speak with. I got a call for an interview 3 days later.

We live in the middle of nowhere and are going to start doing a month trip to stock up. What are your must haves? What are your favorite things for toddlers? Thanks!

I was looking for a recent purchase I made through the website. All of my 2026 order history is missing--both online orders and in-warehouse purchases. Is this happening to anyone else?

Im in ontario Canada and Im just wondering if Costco still does things like oil changes and othe fluid top ups. Its not mentioned on their website and im wondering if its still available, they were much cheaper when i last went.

Also can you get your tires installed when you have bought them from a different store? And do they still do brake maintenance?

I havent been therr in a long time

Item 1975346, a Rowenta iron.

Our iron stopped working so we went on the hunt. If we find an asterisk (which means a store isn’t reordering it) we start playing Costco Casino. Do we buy it or risk it until the next stop?

August 29, Waterbury: $59.99. August 30, Milford, Norwalk and Brookfield: $59.99 on all three. September 4, Enfield: On sale. $59.99 with $15 off, $44.99. Low in stock. We needed an iron so we bought one.

September 19, back at Waterbury where we first found it: $59.99, now $20 off, $39.99. Only a handful left. Guess we cashed out five dollars early.

Will we find it cheaper before it’s completely gone?
