Is Costco / Success by Sesame legit?
Nothing is on the public record against Costco / Success by Sesame.
No FTC action, no state action, no failing BBB grade, no FDA warning letter matched to it and no pattern of cancellation complaints. That is what was checked, not a recommendation — and the terms below matter more to most people than the record does.
Bottom line
Yes. Costco / Success by Sesame is a real operation and nothing sits on its public record here — no FTC action, no state action, no failing BBB grade, no matched FDA warning letter. If the question is whether it is the right one: it publishes no all-in monthly price that could be verified, which is the most common reason people ask whether a seller is trustworthy at all.

Is Costco / Success by Sesame legit?
Costco / Success by Sesame carries nothing on its record here: no FTC action, no state action, no failing BBB grade, no matched FDA warning letter and no pattern of cancellation complaints. That is a statement about what is on the public record, checked against it, rather than a recommendation. It publishes no all-in monthly price that could be verified. That is a fact about the seller rather than a gap here, and it is the most common reason readers ask whether a company is trustworthy. The commitment is 12 months, which is the term most complaints in this category are actually about. Counted against it in the score: maintenance price unpublished. Also noted, without costing it points: medication billed on top of membership. It scores 5.9 out of 10 on a formula published in full, arithmetic over the facts on this page rather than an opinion.

Where we got Costco / Success by Sesame wrong
- 2026-09-11 — A point in its favor that no longer stood, withdrawn.Was: Flat price that does not escalate with dose — at maintenance doses this beats the dose-scaled programs it looks expensive against.
- 2026-09-11 — A drawback that no longer stood, withdrawn.Was: Requires a paid Costco membership on top.
- 2026-09-11 — Scored on a starting price, as month-to-month and cash only.Was: $208 a month all-in once titrated, month-to-month, cash onlyNow: $59 of care on a 12-month commitment plus medication from $149, with no maintenance price published; insurance accepted for the medication
- 2026-09-11 — A con quoting a price the card no longer holds.Was: $408 is the second-highest flat price tracked.Now: $208 a month all in — a $59 membership plus medication from $149 — and the medication half is a starting price, so higher doses cost more.
- 2026-09-11 — A drawback that no longer stood.Was: Cash only, no insurance route.Now: Sesame's page says insurance is accepted for weight-loss medications, so the cash figure is not the only route.

What this page is not
halfrx collects no customer reviews and gives no star rating of its own. Its 0–10 score is arithmetic over the published facts on this page, so nothing here reports what using Costco / Success by Sesame felt like. Everything above is the documentary record and the published terms, each with its source and its date. For lived experience the GLP-1 subreddits and the company's own BBB complaint file are where people write it down, and both are worth reading beside this.
The registers this page was checked against
"Nothing on the record" is a claim about a search, and a search whose register is not named cannot be checked. These are the ones searched for Costco / Success by Sesame, whatever the search found.
- Warning letters, U.S. Food and Drug Administration — The register searched for every seller on this site. A letter found here is linked from the seller's page to the original.

Everything on Costco / Success by Sesame
Costco / Success by Sesame, answered
- Is Costco / Success by Sesame a real, licensed operation?
- Two registers were searched and neither returned anything against it: the FDA's warning letters and the FTC's cases and proceedings. "Legit" in that sense is rarely the question that decides anything. What it charges once titrated, what it commits you to, and what a register holds are, and each is answered above with the document behind it.
- Does Costco / Success by Sesame have a membership fee?
- Yes. The membership is $59 a month, and the medication is billed on top of it: $149 a month when last read, on 2026-09-22. The fee alone is not what a month costs, which is why the price here adds the two.
- Does Costco / Success by Sesame take insurance?
- It can. Insurance is optional at Costco / Success by Sesame, and the cash price and what a covered patient pays are different figures.
- Is Costco / Success by Sesame still in business?
- It was trading on 2026-09-22, the last day this site read its pricing page. A seller whose site stops answering is marked here as not operating, with the date it was found so.
- Does Costco / Success by Sesame offer tirzepatide?
- No. Costco / Success by Sesame lists semaglutide only, as of 2026-09-22.
- What do people say about using Costco / Success by Sesame?
- Nothing on this page reports that, and it is worth being plain about why: no site this page could find publishes a rating of it at all. A rating counts people a platform chose to ask; it cannot say what a regulator wrote down. The GLP-1 subreddits and Costco / Success by Sesame's own BBB complaint file are where the experience gets written, and both are worth reading beside this page rather than instead of it.
- What would change this page?
- A new filing, a resolved action, or a price that moves. Every figure carries the date it was read and anything past 45 days without a re-check is marked stale here rather than quietly aging. When something published here turns out to be wrong it is changed and logged with what it used to say.
Nothing on this page is asserted without a cited document behind it. An enforcement action is a fact about a filing and is reported as one; halfrx does not call any company a scam. Where something here turns out to be wrong it is changed and logged at corrections.
