I bet you could still use it to vote in Wisconsin.

Since May 7, 2025, travelers have needed a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or state ID to board domestic flights. And now, TSA is putting its foot down, telling travelers that their Costco cards do not count as a valid form of ID to travel with.

 

TSA posted the following message on Facebook: “We love hotdogs & 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.”

 

Several people flocked to the comments section of the Facebook post, writing things like, “I mean at least it has a STAR on it,” and “Im pretty sure that the Costco card is stronger than some passports.” Another jokingly wrote, “So, you’re saying we should bring you a chicken?”
