## Stacking With Cashback

Maximum total savings on a Costco purchase:

1. Buy a discounted gift card from the table above: save 1%.
2. Check the [Costco cashback page](https://www.gotcashback.com/Stores/Costco/llms.txt) for current portal cashback rates.
3. Pay with the gift card at checkout.

Caveats: some portals exclude gift-card-paid orders from cashback, and store loyalty rewards may not accrue on gift card payments — verify the portal's terms before purchase.

## Terms & Fine Print

- Discounted cards from marketplaces are typically non-refundable, and digital delivery may require identity verification on first purchase.
- Verify the remaining balance of marketplace cards promptly after purchase.
- Purchasing gift cards through a cashback portal usually does not itself earn cashback.

## FAQ

**Where can I check current Costco gift card discounts?**
Check reputable gift card comparison websites, Costco’s official website, major retailers, and established gift card marketplaces for current Costco gift card discounts. Availability, denominations, and prices change frequently, so compare the final checkout price, delivery method, fees, and seller terms before buying.

**Does Costco sell discounted Costco gift cards?**
Costco generally sells its Costco Shop Cards at face value, although promotions, member offers, or special deals may occasionally be available. Discounted Costco gift cards are more commonly found through promotions, resale marketplaces, rewards programs, or comparison websites.

**How large are Costco gift card discounts typically?**
Discounts vary by seller, denomination, demand, and promotion. A typical discount may be around 1% to 5%, while limited-time promotions can be higher. Always calculate the effective savings after service, shipping, or processing fees.

**Are Costco gift card discounts available year-round?**
No. Costco gift card discounts are usually available only while supplies last and may appear during seasonal sales, promotional events, or marketplace price changes. Check comparison sites and sellers regularly for updated offers.

**What are Costco Shop Cards?**
Costco Shop Cards are Costco-branded gift cards that can generally be used for eligible purchases at Costco warehouses, Costco gas stations, and Costco.com, subject to Costco’s current terms. They may be available as physical cards or electronic gift cards.

**Can I buy Costco gift cards without a Costco membership?**
Membership requirements can depend on where and how the card is purchased. Costco may restrict certain Shop Card purchases to members, while nonmembers may be able to use a Costco Shop Card under Costco’s applicable policies. Check the current Costco terms before buying.

**Are there limits on buying discounted Costco gift cards?**
Yes, sellers and promotions may impose limits on the number of cards, total order value, denominations, or purchases per customer. Costco and third-party marketplaces may also apply account, payment, or fraud-prevention limits.

**Do Costco gift cards expire?**
Costco Shop Cards generally do not have an expiration date, but terms can vary by card type, location, and applicable law. Review the card details and Costco’s current terms, especially for promotional or third-party-issued cards.

**Can Costco gift cards be used at Costco gas stations?**
Costco Shop Cards can generally be used at Costco gas stations, subject to local availability, Costco membership rules, and the card’s terms. Confirm acceptance and any restrictions before relying on a gift card for fuel purchases.

**What is the difference between Costco eGift cards and physical gift cards?**
A Costco eGift card is delivered electronically and may be available soon after purchase, while a physical card is shipped to an address. eGift cards are convenient for online use and gifting, whereas physical cards can be easier to use in person. Delivery times, supported retailers, and redemption rules vary.

**Are Costco eGift cards cheaper than physical Costco gift cards?**
Not necessarily. eGift cards may avoid shipping charges, but prices depend on the seller and promotion. Compare the total checkout cost, including fees and delivery charges, rather than comparing only the advertised discount.

**What is the difference between new and marketplace Costco gift cards?**
A new Costco gift card is usually sold directly by Costco or an authorized retailer and is typically issued at face value. A marketplace or resale card is listed by a third-party seller and may be discounted, but it carries additional risks involving activation, validity, delivery, refunds, and seller reliability.

**Are discounted marketplace Costco gift cards safe to buy?**
They can be safe when purchased from a reputable marketplace with seller screening, purchase protection, secure delivery, and a clear refund policy. Avoid deals that appear unusually cheap, sellers with poor histories, requests for off-platform payment, or cards lacking verification and transaction support.

**How can I verify a Costco gift card before using it?**
Keep the order confirmation and card number, inspect the card or delivery details for tampering, and check the balance through Costco’s official channels or customer service. Do not share the card number or PIN publicly, and contact the seller promptly if the balance is incorrect.

**Can I stack discounted Costco gift cards with cashback portal earnings?**
Sometimes, but cashback portal terms control eligibility. A portal may award cashback for an eligible Costco purchase paid with a discounted gift card, but it may exclude gift card purchases, Costco transactions, memberships, or orders using promotional codes. Review the current terms before purchasing.

**Can I earn cashback when buying Costco gift cards through a cashback portal?**
Usually, gift card purchases are excluded from cashback, although exceptions may exist. Check the portal’s merchant-specific exclusions and tracked-purchase rules before buying. Portals such as SimplyBestCoupons.com may list available Costco offers, but rates and eligibility can change.

**How do I maximize savings on Costco gift cards?**
Compare the net price of discounted Costco gift cards, use a payment method that provides eligible rewards, and check whether a cashback portal tracks the resulting Costco purchase. Confirm that gift card use, memberships, coupons, and cashback stacking are allowed before completing the transaction.

**Can I combine multiple Costco gift cards in one purchase?**
Costco may allow multiple Shop Cards in a transaction, but limits can vary by sales channel, payment system, location, and account. Check the current Costco policy or ask Costco customer service if you plan to use several cards for a large purchase.

**Can Costco gift cards be refunded, transferred, or exchanged?**
Policies depend on Costco, the original seller, the card type, and applicable law. Many gift cards cannot be returned after delivery or redemption, and marketplace cards may have limited dispute windows. Review the seller’s refund and transfer terms before purchasing.

**How do I check my Costco gift card balance?**
Use Costco’s official gift card balance-checking option, follow the instructions associated with the card, or contact Costco customer service. Have the card number and any required PIN or security information available. Avoid entering card details on unofficial balance-checking websites.
