(New York, NY) – The Transportation Security Administration is issuing travelers a reminder this week. Despite online rumors, Costco cards are not valid forms of identification for security screening. In fact, no membership club cards will get you through the security checkpoint..
The TSA warns that attempting to use these cards could cause delays and travel disruptions. And with what’s going on at Newark Liberty International Airport these days – not to mention typical summer travel woes – avoiding any and all additional problems is advised.
Last month, the agency began strictly enforcing requirements for real ID and other approved forms of identification at security checkpoints. Travelers can use traditional driver’s licenses and still get through security, but it may take additional time.
