Costco In-Warehouse Receipt History on Costco.ca and Mobile App!!!
CLICK HERE for the Costco Flyer from October 25 to November 7!!!
Hello everybody and happy Friday!
I hope you have all been having a good week, and enjoying the beautiful fall weather?!
This is just a quick little update for those of you who like to take advantage of price matching, frequent the returns desk or like to keep track of their purchases (which I do, and…Yikes!) you will be happy to hear that your in-warehouse purchase receipt history is now available online at Costco.ca and through the Costco Mobile App!
If you have already verified your account with Costco.ca or on the Costco Mobile App, you are all set to see your previous receipts. If, on the Costco Mobile App, you are able to display your Membership Card in the “CARD” tab on the bottom middle of the app, your accounts are verified and associated.
If your membership card is not yet associated with your Costco login, you will also be required to verify your identity using Verified.Me. It took me a couple of times to get this to work, so be patient with it.
Once your account has been verified, you will be able to see your receipt history! Which I did, then I kind of wished that I could UN-SEE my receipt history!
- To view the previous receipts on Costco.ca, when you are logged in, go to Account – Orders & Purchases and choose the “In Warehouse Tab” You will then see a display of all your previous receipts.
- To view your previous receipts on the Costco Mobile App, go to the “Menu” Tab at the bottom and choose “Orders & Purchases”. Choose the “In Warehouse Tab” to display your receipts!
It looks like you should be able to access your receipts within 24 hours of your purchase & all the way back to January 2019, but the earliest receipt I was able to view was from January 25th, 2021. This feature is pretty new, so I’m sure the older receipts will be loaded in the future. These things take time.
Anyways, it is nice to see that Costco is making progress in updating it’s IT infrastructure to make it more customer friendly.
It will be interesting to see if these online receipts can be used for price matching! If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know!
Below is a sample of one of my precious receipts! They can easily be downloaded in *.pdf file.

No Candy on that one, but there is some Grapefruit!!!
So there you go, another new feature to make your shopping experience a little bit more interactive and make your price matching a little bit easier.
Stay safe folks, and I’ll see you soon foe the Costco East Fan Blog Weekend Update! (I’ll also share how much Candy is left in the box I bought on Monday)
Cheers!
Please note:
The price at your local Costco takes precedent (or precedence) over the prices listed on this blog.
Costco liquidation/Manager’s Special items (ending in .97) vary from store to store.
An asterisk (*) on the price tag means the item is not being re-ordered.
If there is something you really want, ***double check the expiry date*** as some Costco sales items do end mid-week.

This feature works great for me online, but my mobile app asks for a zip code to verify and doesn’t accept a Canadian postal code. How can I solve this? Thanks for any help/advice.
This reply is for Larry P. in Oshawa:
Moving down south (preferably, Chicago) & obtaining a zip code should resolve the matter for you
It’s obvious you’re not using the right app… If you’re on Android, here is the legit app to use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.costco.app.android
I have an iPhone so it’s the IOS system. But thanks anyway.
I had the same issue! Very frustrating. I have an Android phone, and what I did was go to the menu option at the bottom right corner of the app. On the menu page choose Settings. That should take you to a page that shows your region. For some reason, mine was showing USA. Once I switched it to Canada, it worked! Good luck!
A couple of weeks back, while at the warehouse, I noticed something I had recently purchased was lower in price. I happened to have a photo of my receipt on my phone so I went to the returns desk to ask about a price match using this receipt. The fellow had to ask his supervision supervisor. The answer came back that he would as an exception “this time” but the next time I would need my paper receipt. Perhaps policy will change, particularly given that it is Costco that is making the virtual receipts available.
Would love to learn more about the “rules” around price matching- I wasn’t aware Costco did that. Do you have a post on that you could steer me to?
Thanks , so much, I never go to Costco without checking your website first! Sometimes my Costco doesn’t have your amazing deals, but it helps lots. Thanks
When I hear the term “price match”, it’s been in the context of one store matching a competitor’s price. Costco doesn’t do that. What they will do is give you the lower price on an item that you purchased recently, (if they still have it in stock) prior to the price reduction. The time frames seem to fluctuate and depend on who you ask. I’ve had no problem within a 2 week period. I also keep my recent receipts with me to enable a refund, but with this new mobile function that may prove to be unnecessary.
Cheers, Jan
This is very cool!! Thanks for the heads-up. 👍👍
Not sure how to do this, I use SIMPLII Financial, but when I select CIBC for my financial institution, and enter my bank card and password, it doesn’t work. How do we verify if we don’t use any of the banks listed?
Hi Joel, I really really didn’t like the idea of providing my bank info on line (I never store my credit card info on a shopping site, just naturally suspicious 🤨). So yesterday at my warehouse, I spoke to customer service about verifying my account and they simply sent me an email with a link which just required a change of password. Easy peasy and no bank info required!
Why would they ask for your bank info? Do you not gave a Costco membership card? I would presume thst’s what is required.
Yes I do have a membership card and an online account but when I tried to do the verification procedure on my iPhone, it asked for bank info. Why? I don’t know. That’s why I chose to do it in person at my warehouse.
WOW I love this group, you provide such a phenomenal service, free of charge for everyone who is a member of your group. Thank You for everything. This news about accessing our receipts online is fantastic, just what i need. Will let you know how it works out.
Warm regards,
Toni 😊😊😊
I am asked for my postal code on Costco.ca. When I enter my postal code I get a message that it is an invalid zip code??
