Sorry, I was misinformed. They still accept Amex (for the time being).antigua1999 wrote: ↑I`m confused. I used my Costco amex last night while shopping at Costco in Mississauga.

sounds like they had a lovers quarrelsecond2none wrote: ↑Sorry, I was misinformed. They still accept Amex (for the time being).
They no longer offer the card to anyone, and there are no more Amex signs anywhere in the store.
An employee said that Amex and Costco had a disagreement. Apparently they are looking at signing a new agreement with a different CC provided.

I too have heard this, but I cannot find anything official. It would be a big change if it's true.second2none wrote: ↑Apparently they are looking at signing a new agreement with a different CC provided.

Agfreed and I'm pretty sure this is the case for 95% of Costco Amex holders.

I worked at Costco between 1991 and 2000 (dating back to the Price Club era and before they accepted interac as a form of payment (I helped install the terminals), and I have been a member ever since, I had friends who transferred and had worked opening day in the 1st Canadian warehouse (Burnaby BC) and I can tell you with 200% accuracy they have never had a credit card other than the co-branded Amex card in Canada.jackie999 wrote: ↑I originally had a costco credit card (forget which institution it was with) but had a problem with it when I started getting charges that weren't mine. I called to complain and discovered the charges were for a coworkers..they claimed that was impossible and I fought back saying it had happened so it wasn't impossible. I cancelled the card and went with the amex and haven't looked back.

Beware because minor employees are often misinformed.second2none wrote: ↑Sorry, I was misinformed. They still accept Amex (for the time being).
