In a June 4 post, the TSA debunked long-standing rumors on social media and warned people that Costco membership cards do not qualify as a REAL ID. “We love hotdogs and 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.

TSA says trying to use club cards for ID could actually lead to delays and travel headaches. TSA last month began enforcing the requirement for REAL IDs and other acceptable forms of identification used for security points. Those accepted include: passports, border crossing and permanent resident cards.
