Is it exclusive with Citi? Or any Visa will work for Costco now?

Exclusive with citi
Highly doubt that.
The Citi issuance will be exclusive, not the acceptance.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

+1

"Under the terms Citi, the world's largest issues of consumer credit cards, would become the exclusive issuer of Costco co-brand credit cards. Visa would replace American Express as the credit card network for Costco in the U.S. and Puerto Rico beginning next month."

You're probably right - I misunderstood his question, this I don't know either way. But you're probably right.

Has never worked for me. But a workaround is to buy Costco Cash cards online with VGC.  It's a hassle but works fine.

Will they accept Amex online (like they currently accept Visa/MC online)?

Not in my experience. Have used VGC at Amazon.com and Costco.com, maybe elsewhere, without registering the VGC.

Wondering why Citi would prefer Visa over MasterCard and thereby excluding the majority of their own cards...
