Can I get a copy of an old Costco receipt?

Often yes. Your Costco membership records every warehouse purchase — the membership desk can reprint receipts (typically going back about two years), and Costco.com orders live under Orders & Returns. For older purchases, Costco customer service may be able to look up the transaction with the card you paid with and the approximate date — the more precisely you can pin down the store, day and amount, the better the odds of a successful lookup.
