'Listen up': Woman reveals Costco shopping hack for avoiding membership fee

For those without a Costco membership, never fear, you can still shop there.

TikToker Little Birdie shared a video revealing membership isn't mandatory to shop at the popular retailer.

"Listen up," she begins her video. "Costco now offers shop cards."

Watch the video above.

According to the TikToker – who is popular for her shopping hack tips – the cards are "like gift cards" that can be purchased by members and gifted to non-members.

The cards allow customers to shop at all Costco stores across Australia.

Although this may mean you don't need to be a member to shop at Costco, shoppers would still need to know someone who is a member to purchase the card for them.

As per the store's website, non-members who are gifted these cards also cannot reload the card once all the funds are spent.

Membership rules at Costco appear to have a history of stumping customers.

Less than two weeks ago, 9Honey's very own Jo Abi found herself confused when she witnessed a daughter being refused service while trying to use her mother's membership card.

Abi herself was told her membership could not be utilised by her partner who was shopping with her at the time unless she made all the purchases herself.

"I paid for it all, and Shamus paid me back by filling my car up with petrol on the way home, but it was a bit awkward and not in keeping with our pledge to pay for our own purchases," she wrote.

"I didn't remember Costco membership rules being this strict, but it seems they have changed since the discount retailer launched in Australia in 2009."
