Costco in Baja question

Does any Nomad have personal experience using a Costco Citi bank card from the U.S.A. in Baja, specifically the Ensenada Costco?

Thanks

you can use any debit card but only visa credit cards
no mastercards

I know that its not Ensenada, but I used my Costco Citibank card to buy food and fuel at the Costco in Mexicali without an issue.

Buying fuel is different than in the states. When I went through in 2021, there were no credit card readers on the fuel pumps themselves. There is a central card reader terminal. The instructions are in espanol.

Sorry for rambling. There were no issues. Great experience. Mexico is a beautiful country.

We have been using the Costco Citibank as our primary card at the csl Costco for years. I would wager the functionality is similar at most Mexican Costco stores.

Thanks for the answers

This is a list of accepted credit card from the Costco.com.mx website.
Have not shopped at the Ensenada Costco but here in CSL we either use our Capital One Mastercard or Am-Ex Platinum c/c.
