No, you can't use your Costco card as Real ID at the airport, TSA says
Travelers who are headed to airports and hoping to use their Costco membership cards in place of Real IDs are out of luck.
Travelers need a Real ID — or other acceptable form of identification — for domestic flights and for accessing federal facilities as of May 7. The Transportation Security Administration has warned fliers that the Costco card is not an acceptable alternative.
"We love hotdogs & rotisserie chickens as much as the next person but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not," the TSA said in a post last week on social media.

Costco Cards could work OK if and when the company scraps it DEI policies. Until then, Costco is dead to me!

I used my Half-Rice Books discount card and they just waved me right through.

I prefer wild rice to half price or half ass rice.

They started treating that place like they're guarding Fort Knox. It's so annoying.
