According to TSA’s Facebook post, you now can say goodbye to using your Costco cards as a form of identification, as the agency cleared the air. TSA posted on June 4: "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."

As travelers adjust to new identification requirements for flying in the U.S., TSA has some advice for fliers who may be confused: Your Costco membership card does not count as a REAL ID.
