Costco will pass any tariff refunds it might receive back to members through lower prices, CEO Ron Vachris said, although the timeline and even the likelihood of repayments remain uncertain.
Vachris made the pledge during Costco’s quarterly earnings call on March 5, as importers across industries pursue tens of billions of dollars in refunds after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority when he used an emergency power to impose global tariffs aimed at reducing trade deficits.

How about returning the tariff refund to the people who have already paid the higher ‘tariff’ costs that Costco had passed off to the people.
How about paying down the Debt
I highly doubt it...
What they’re really saying is they’ll help their Chinese suppliers keep us dependent.
Costco must also give free cards to illegals. I am guessing they do this so they can COLLECT THE WELFARE the illegals are receiving at the cost to taxpayers.
Every time I go there I feel like I am in the middle of Afghanistan. More freakin’ illegals there than you could imagine.

I got nothing against profit. But, I do hate those who give $$ to enemies.
ROTFL!!! I once had a printer that was involved in a class action lawsuit. The lawyers sent me a letter telling me that they won millions of dollars from the lawsuit and congratulated me with my winnings. A 10 DOLLAR OFF COUPON FOR WHEN I BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THE SAME PRINTERS WITH THE MALFUNCTION FIXED. Then people always ask me why I hate the judicial system in this country.

Good one, Costco.
Forget a tariff refund...
How about more free (best-in-the-world) hotdogs...
Back when I used to eat beef (before 1989) the best hotdog was
Then, why continue doing it?
