Warehouse Club Shopping · 仓储会员店购物
basicHi, I'm visiting from out of town. My friend has a Costco membership — can I shop with their card?
你好,我是外地来的。我朋友有 Costco 会员卡——我可以用他的卡购物吗?
💡 Costco 会员卡不可转借,必须本人持卡,但可以带一位非会员同行。
Actually, the membership card is non-transferable — only the cardholder can use it. But your friend can bring you as a guest! They'd just need to be here with you.
其实会员卡是不可转让的——只有持卡人本人能用。但你朋友可以带你作为客人进来!他只需要跟你一起来。
Got it. If I wanted to sign up for my own membership, how much is it and what do I get?
明白了。如果我想办自己的会员卡,多少钱?有什么权益?
💡 Costco 有两档会员:Gold Star($65/年)和 Executive($130/年,有2%返现)。
Our Gold Star membership is $65 a year. If you upgrade to Executive for $130, you get 2% back on all purchases — most members easily make that back.
我们的金星会员年费65美元。如果升级到行政会员130美元,所有购物可获2%返现——大多数会员轻松赚回来。
I'll go with the Gold Star for now. Can I add a household member to my card?
我先办金星会员吧。可以在我的卡上加一个家庭成员吗?
💡 Costco 会员卡可以免费添加一张家庭副卡(household card),给同住的家人使用。
Absolutely! Each membership includes one free household card for someone living at the same address. They'll get their own card with their photo. I just need their ID.
当然可以!每个会员可以免费添加一张家庭副卡,限同住地址的人。他们会拿到自己带照片的卡。我只需要他们的身份证件。
Rewards & Returns at Warehouse Clubs · 会员积分与退货
intermediateI'm checking out. The cashier at my last visit mentioned I have a rewards check — how do I use it?
我要结账。上次来的时候收银员提到我有一张返现支票——怎么用?
💡 Costco Executive 会员每年会收到一张 rewards check(返现支票),可以在结账时当现金使用。
Great! Your rewards check is like cash — just hand it to me and I'll apply it to your total. Yours is $47.50 this year. Want to use it today?
太好了!返现支票等于现金——递给我就行,我会从总价里扣。你今年有47.50美元。今天要用吗?
Yes, please! Also, I bought a TV here three months ago and it's not working right. What's your return policy on electronics?
好的,用掉吧!另外,三个月前在这里买的电视出问题了。你们电子产品的退货政策是什么?
💡 Costco 大多数商品可以随时无理由退货,但电子产品限90天。这在美国零售中非常慷慨。
Electronics have a 90-day return window, so you're still within the period. Just bring the TV and your receipt — or we can look it up with your membership card. Head to the returns counter.
电子产品有90天退货期,你还在有效期内。带上电视和收据来——或者我们可以用会员卡查记录。去退货柜台就行。
Good to know. By the way, my membership is expiring next month. Can I renew it right here at the register?
太好了。对了,我的会员下个月到期。可以在收银台这里直接续费吗?
💡 Costco 会员可以在任何收银台、会员服务台或网上续费,也可以设置自动续费。
You sure can! I can add the renewal to today's transaction. It'll be $65 for another year. Or if you want to upgrade to Executive, it's $130 with the 2% reward. Want me to go ahead?
当然可以!我可以把续费加到今天的交易里。再续一年65美元。如果想升级到行政会员,130美元含2%返现。需要我办理吗?
