Another class-action lawsuit has come for Costco — this time targeting the warehouse giant’s annual membership.

The suit was filed in California last month, accusing the Issaquah, Washington-based company of violating state law by not giving customers adequate notice before automatically renewing their memberships.

Costco’s basic Gold Star membership runs $65 per year and is required to shop at the store.

The company alerts members via email 60 days before automatically charging their credit cards, according to the lawsuit. This notice, though, falls outside the 45-day warning period mandated by California’s automatic purchase renewals law.

“Due to Costco’s untimely and deficient auto-renewal notice,” the lawsuit reads, as reported by Top Class Actions, “the plaintiff was deprived of information he was statutorily entitled to that would have notified him of the upcoming auto-renewal and provided him with methods of cancellation.”

A similar standard is not outlined in Oregon state law, which does not specify a time frame in which companies must warn customers of an upcoming auto-renewal.

Another class-action lawsuit filed in March also takes aim at Costco — alleging that the retailer unfairly passed the cost of tariff duties onto customers. And earlier this year, the warehouse chain was slammed with a duet of suits related to its popular $4.99 rotisserie chickens.
