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.
Costco stands up for these illegals because they’re cashing in off all the welfare illegals receive.
I’ll admit that I absolutely hate going in there.

Illegals should receive $0.00 welfare. Maybe some of their asses would leave if we actually enforced that.
The tariffs eliminate the deficit and thereby eliminate debt growth
The tariffs are the largest tax increase in history
LOL
A promise he knows he’ll never have to prove he did but makes him look good as well as dinging Trump.
Yep.

Yeah, I believe that. And the Tooth Fairy will put the refund under your pillow.
Across all stores and all produces, the costumers may see a penny or two lower prices
