Buy a Costco subscription with a Visa card
Buy a Costco account or renew your Costco subscription, instantly and safely
Buy a Costco subscription the simple way: get a virtual Visa card in minutes and buy Costco straight from its own site, or order it and PayFar will activate Costco on your own account for you. Prices start at $65/yr, and you see the final amount before you pay. No shared account, no hidden fees, real people on support, and it renews on its own.
Costco subscription price
Prices exactly as Costco charges them. Your card is billed in the same currency, and the conversion is quoted before you confirm, nothing is hidden in the spread.
PayFar charges no monthly fee on the card, you pay Costco only.
With a PayFar card, nobody needs your Costco login
Every other route asks you to hand over your Costco username and password, or to buy a login that belongs to someone else. PayFar issues a Visa card to you instead, you pay Costco yourself, from your own account.
Resellers and shared accounts
They pay on your behalf: with access to your account
- ✕They ask for your Costco email and password to pay for you
- ✕You wait hours: sometimes a day, for someone to process the order by hand
- ✕A middleman fee on top of the exchange rate, never itemised
- ✕One card funds dozens of accounts: they get flagged together
PayFar

- ✓Pay Costco the moment you decide to: the charge clears instantly, at 3am if you like
- ✓No extra payment fee: just the rate of the day, shown before you confirm
Nobody logs into your Costco account but you. There is no shared password, no session on someone else's laptop, and nothing to revoke later.
You enter the card at Costco checkout and the charge settles from your balance in seconds. No order queue, no operator, no waiting for business hours.
Costco charges its own price and PayFar adds no payment fee and no monthly card fee. The conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.
What makes a Costco payment go through
International stores run every order through fraud screening, and an unverifiable card is the quickest route to a silent cancellation. A real Visa with a matching billing country sails through the same checks everyone else's card does.
Returns and cancelled orders refund to the original card. When that card is yours, the money comes back to you, not to a reseller you then have to chase for it.
Costco today, a different marketplace next month, the card does not care. Once it exists, every international checkout is the same three fields.

App Store & iTunes paymentsBuying a Costco subscription: common questions
How much does a Costco subscription cost?
Costco plans: Executive $130/yr, Gold Star $65/yr, Business Executive $130/yr, Business $65/yr, Additional Person (Affiliate) $65/yr. Prices are exactly what Costco charges; PayFar adds no monthly card fee, and the conversion rate is quoted before you confirm.
How do I buy a Costco subscription with a Visa card?
Open a PayFar account; the virtual Visa card is issued in under 3 minutes. Top up at least $130, enter the card number, expiry and CVV at the Costco checkout, and set the billing country to the one on your PayFar profile. The charge clears in seconds.
Does Costco ship to your country, and does the card change that?
The card fixes the payment, not the logistics. Many people pay themselves and ship to a forwarding address or a relative abroad; digital goods, of course, need no address at all.
What about a refund if the order falls through?
It returns to the card within the store's usual window and lands back in your balance. No middleman holds it on the way.
Is there a fee per purchase?
PayFar adds none: the store's price at the day's rate is what leaves the balance. The card fee model is the same everywhere you use it.
