The days of sneaking into Costco with someone else's card are coming to an end. The retailer is cracking down on membership card sharing with a new policy where all cards will be scanned at store entrances. Costco said in a recent statement on its website: “Over the coming months, membership scanning devices will be used at the entrance door of your local warehouse.

The statement said that an attendant would be stationed at store entrances to assist shoppers. For members whose cards are inactive, expired or those who would like to sign up for a new membership, the attendant will ask them to stop at the membership counter prior to entering the warehouse to shop. NBC News has reached out to Costco for comment. Costco relies on membership fees to drive most of its revenue and help keep merchandise prices low.
