| As far as I know the costco website doesn't accept credit cards period because it doesn't sell anything on there. |

ezshopKorea and hellocostco (both online) both accept bank transfers, but I suugest contacting them to check your credit card.
I believe I heard that costco stores only accept samsung credit cards, but a regular costco shopper would be able to confirm that or not. |

| Costco only accepts samsung credit cards, otherwise you need to bring cashie with you. it has something to do with keeping down bank fees for them so as to (theoretically) keep their prices down! |

I think it has more to do with Costco in Korea being a joint venture (as pretty much any foreign store must be in order to do business in Korea) between Samsung and Costco, and Samsung wanting to be ensured of getting a better return on their investment, one way or another.
I always felt as though there should be an exception for foreign-issued credit cards, considering its a foreign-based company, but whatever. |

It does indeed accept foreign credit cards guys. It uses a third party website called paynet.
rye bread = eggs and toast
chicken thigh = chicken curry
mince beef = chilli con carni
any other costco goods you think are worth trying? im from the uk so the american stuff looks pretty good to me lol
