Non-member with a gift card - can I use it to have photos printed?

A Costco cash card? Yes. If the card doesn't cover the total you'd have to pay the rest in cash though. And you might have to wait for a supervisor to come over and approve the transaction on the register or deal with an employee who doesn't know this along the way.

Also this only works in the store, not online as far as I know. So make sure your Costco has a way to order in store, some don't anymore.

The credit cards got hacked from their online site, so you can only order in-store anyway. The card balance will be plenty, so hopefully I won't have any issues with not having a member id. Thanks for your help! I'll try it out tomorrow.

False. Costcos photo website doesn't even take credit cards, so there is nothing to hack. The most the hackers could have gotten is membership numbers and names.

I didn't read the website that closely...a message just comes up saying that data has been compromised and they no longer are processing orders online. CVS and several others have the same type of message on their sites, and for at least some of them it is about credit card data. Wasn't trying to lie to you, man.

Photo website is down due to a security issue however. Expected to be back up later this year.

True. You don't pay for photos online, but your credit card #s are taken/requested online when you set up a photo account because some items ( mugs, mouse pads, blankets, etc.)
