Important Note About Your Email Address

Be sure that you sign up for your Costco Photo Center membership with an active email address. Your email address is your login, and it is the default address for any notifications that the Costco Photo Center sends. If you stop using the address you used to sign up, be sure to change your email address and therefore your login to your new email address so it is easier to remember. To check or edit your account information at any time, including your email address and password, click the 'account' link in the top right corner of most pages.
