Does Costco Offer Live Chat Support?
Costco offers live chat support during customer service hours. This is my preferred way to get in touch with them. Here’s how to contact Costco via live chat:
- Go to customerservice.costco.com.
- Click on “Contact Us” at the bottom of the menu on the left side of the screen, then select “Chat Us.”
- You will be redirected to the Live Help webpage, where you will need to fill out the form to contact support.
- First, choose the department you’d like to contact. You can choose between Costco Online, Warehouse or Membership, or Costco Business. The department must be open at the time, or else you will not be able to select it.
- In the next line, choose your chat subject. Based on the department you chose, topics will vary.
- Fill in your first and last name as well as your email address.
- If you want to chat about a specific order, enter your order number.
- Enter your Costco membership number.

For security reasons, Costco’s live chat support cannot process membership fees or credit card transactions.
Can You Contact Costco Customer Service via Email?
Unfortunately, Costco does not offer customer support via email. The best alternative is to contact them using live chat, as I explained in the previous section. There is also an option to leave general feedback on their website and mobile app.
To leave feedback on the website, click on the blue tab on the right-hand side that says “Feedback.” The feedback button can be found at the bottom of the screen if you are using a mobile device.
How to Contact Costco Citi Card Customer Service
Costco Citi Card Customer Service can be contacted directly through Citi Bank. You can call 1-855-378-6467 for consumer cards and 1-855-378-6468 for business cards. In addition, they can be contacted online at www.citi.com.
