Gotta love Costco
So my OH goes to Costco with our 4 year old. She returns something, and our "UK" card has expired so we upgrade to the normal US membership (at least it stops me having to say "its international" every time they scan it). Anyways.
The woman on the till ends up being from Norwich (my OH said she didn't have a very strong UK accent). She takes a shine to our 4 year old, and gives him his own Costco card! It has his picture on, with a real number, and my wifes name. She ran it through the till when she bought something and it worked

BTW I have never had to explain using a US Costco card in the UK or Canada.

OT, but when the same son got his disneyland pass, he cross his hands across his body and tried to look mean. The rep said no gang signs !!!! So he did ears. I mean, a 4 year old! Ridiculous.

Re: Gotta love Costco
You can also return something you bought in the Costco UK store to a US store and vice versa. I've also heard you can do this with Asda/Walmart, but never tried it.
