Costco Membership Card not accepted as valid ID at TSA checkpoints
Costco Card not a substitute for Real ID at airports The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is reminding travelers that a Costco membership card does not meet the criteria for federally approved identification at airport checkpoints. While the card features a member's photo and a gold star, it does not satisfy Real ID requirements outlined under federal guidelines. The TSA issued the reminder following several misleading claims on social media and discussion forums suggesting that a Costco card could serve as an alternative to a government-issued ID. Some Reddit posts and online articles have pointed to the card's visual similarities to Real ID documents, leading to confusion among infrequent travelers. However, the agency has confirmed that only specific types of identification are valid for entry through security. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cara Membantu Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma Limfoma Pelajari Undo Also read: Why Costco is shutting its doors on Memorial Day even as it emerges a winner in the tariff era In a recent social media statement, the TSA said, 'Your Costco Gold Star Membership card might score you a 48-pack of toilet paper, rotisserie chicken, and a soda, but it won't get you through a TSA checkpoint.' The message, though humorous, reflects the agency's ongoing efforts to educate the public about updated travel ID requirements. Live Events TSA clarifies acceptable travel identification requirements As of the Real ID enforcement deadline, travelers must present an approved identification document to clear TSA checkpoints. Acceptable forms include a state-issued enhanced driver's license, a valid US passport, passport card, permanent resident card (green card), or ID from trusted traveler programs such as Global Entry or NEXUS. Although a Costco card contains a member's name and photograph, it is not a government-issued document and therefore cannot be used as a standalone form of identification. In rare cases where a traveler lacks proper ID, TSA officers may use supplemental documents, including a Costco card, to help verify identity, but the process involves additional screening and verification steps. Also read: Costco's brand-new carrot cake bar divides the internet over 1 ingredient Recent reports, including one from Chowhound, originally promoted the idea that a Costco card might aid travelers without ID. The site later updated its article to clarify that TSA does not officially accept the card for identification purposes. The agency continues to emphasize that all travelers should carry valid ID to ensure a smooth screening experience.

Pvt firm employee loses Rs 1.7cr in investment scam
Bengaluru: A 46-year-old man recently lost Rs 1.7 crore to cybercrooks who lured him by promising high returns on investments. The fraudsters gained the victim's trust by transferring small "profit payouts" before leading him into a sophisticated scam. Narun (name changed), a resident of Sarjapur, has filed a complaint with Whitefield cybercrime police. "In the second week of April, I was added to a WhatsApp group called 'J7 Bajaj Finserv Wealth Institute'. Two people, who introduced themselves as Ishit Kapoor and Puraa Jnanreri, contacted me and explained how I could earn large profits through online share trading," he said. Soon after, the duo sent him a link to download an app named Bajaj BSFL-Max. "On April 16, I made my first investment of Rs 10,000," he recalled. "They then credited Rs 1,000 into my account, saying it was my profit." Hooked, Narun began transferring larger sums. "Between April 16 and May 26, I transferred Rs 1.7 crore," he said. However, the profits abruptly stopped. "When I asked why no more profits were being credited, they told me I needed to invest more. When I insisted on getting my money back, they blocked my number," he added. Police are investigating the complaint and have urged citizens to avoid downloading unknown apps or making financial transactions based on unverified claims.
