Costco Sells Gift Cards at a Discount

Sharing is caring!

Costco gift cards are a great way to save money on purchases you’re already planning to make. Available both online and in-store, these discounted gift cards cover a wide range of categories, including popular restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Texas Roadhouse, entertainment options like movie tickets and theme parks, and even retail and services such as spa treatments or fitness memberships. With discounts often ranging from 20-25%, it’s a smart choice to grab a gift card before spending. Simply visit the Costco website to browse the latest deals and start saving!

Do you Have to be a Costco Member? 

  • No, you don’t have to be a member but you will pay a 5% surcharge. But even with the surcharge you will be saving money.

WOTC Pro Tip: Anyone can shop Costco.com, although there are a few hitches for nonmembers: 

  • You will pay an extra 5% surcharge, but you usually still get a deal.
  • You can not use it for “Member-Only” Savings” deals. 
  • If a member gives you a Costco Shop Card (gift card), you can shop in-store or online without a membership.
  • Costco’s pharmacy is open to non-members in many states. You can purchase prescription medications and even use their low-cost prescription program.
  • You can go with a Costco member as their guest, though they must make the purchase.
  • If you spend less than $1,200 a year at Costco online it’s not worth purchasing a membership (you will just pay the 5% surcharge) but if you plan on spending more than $1,200 a year online it will save you money by purchasing a membership. 

This tip can help you save money for yourself and is a great way to save money on gifts. Most of the gift cards come in smaller increments. For example, you can purchase (4) $15 gift cards to Krispy Kreme for $44.99 instead of paying the full $60. Everyone likes donuts. 

Here are some deals you might find on the Costco website: 

  • $449.99 for a $500 gift card to Southwest Airlines
  • $79.99 for a $100 gift card to Panda Express
  • $79.99 for a $100 gift card to Domino’s
  • $39.99 for 2 standard movie tickets plus $20 gift card to AMC Theaters
