Can Costco look up old receipts?

Answered by Willian Lymon

Costco has a policy in place that allows members to request copies of their old receipts. If your purchase is older than 2 years, you can visit the membership counter at your local warehouse to obtain a copy. In order to do so, you will need to provide your picture ID, Costco membership number, and the date of your purchase.

The process of obtaining a copy of an old receipt is relatively straightforward. Simply approach the membership counter and explain that you would like to request a copy of a past receipt. Present your picture ID, which can be a driver’s license, passport, or any other form of identification that includes your photo. Additionally, you will need to provide your Costco membership number, which is typically found on the back of your membership card.

It is important to remember to also provide the date of your purchase, as this will assist the staff in locating the specific receipt you are looking for. If you are unsure of the exact date, try to provide an approximate timeframe to help narrow down the search. The Costco staff at the membership counter will then be able to assist you in printing a copy of your old receipt.

It is worth noting that this service is only available for purchases made within the past 2 years. If your purchase falls within this timeframe, Costco’s policy allows for the retrieval and printing of old receipts. However, if your purchase is older than 2 years, the staff may not be able to locate the receipt in their system.

In my personal experience, I have found Costco’s customer service to be efficient and helpful when it comes to requests for old receipts. They understand that there are instances where a copy of a past receipt may be necessary, such as for warranty claims or tax purposes. Therefore, they are usually accommodating in providing this service to their members.
