In a June 4 post, the TSA debunked long-standing rumors on social media and warned people that Costco membership cards do not qualify as a REAL ID. “We love hotdogs and 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,” the TSA said.

Your Costco card grants you access to a lot of deals and discounts, but don't expect it to help when going through TSA at the airport.
