Our Verdict
I suspect these will sell out quickly. 15%+ is usually the biggest deal you can get on iTunes.
Seems to be sold out, as discount in cart is back to regular 10%.
Price went up $0.50. $84.99 now
Does BofA classify an online purchase at Costco as an online category or a warehouse purchase? Have my 3% category set as online purchases.
Yes, costco.com counts for the online category.
Thanks!
Online category. Have used it multiple times for the 3% category.
Can someone please tell me why people like these cards so much? I can’t resell them on Raise, I can’t get them to work on cardpool, and I don’t care to buy music or movies on itunes. What other possible uses does it have?
People use them for memberships through iTunes
oh then this is not for you. people buy these cards to buy music, movies, in app purchases through itunes.
Subscriptions. I can pay for my cloud backup through iTunes cards, digital newspapers and magazines, etc.
Alot of ppl use these for in game purchases
…
LOL… u must be new here
Freedom and Discover are not 5% back at wholesale this quarter.
As mentioned in the post.
Besides Apple music, movies, and apps, what do people spend iTunes giftcards on?
Newspaper and magazine subscriptions are a great way to use them. Usually you will get a password for the web site. Generally the initial trials for NYT and WSJ are cheaper but if you’ve exhausted those then use Apple to get your subscription for 20% off.
$100 for $84.49, not $79.49.
Fixed, ty
Only the $25 cards are available online, now.
Ordered 2×100 and 2x$25, the limit, and the order was cancelled without reason an hour later. I tried to re-order the exact same items with the same promotions, and the final price was now magically $30 higher.
uh huh…
Costco.com customer service tried every excuse in the book to explain why my order was cancelled, but refused to re-instate it.
If its a mistake, do the correct thing and honor the price and pull the promo, but to blatantly cancel orders and raise the price is false advertising and illegal.
You tried to use the $25 off $250 coupon? That will trigger a cancellation. Happened to me last year.
This year, I got cancelled because I forgot that I bought 4 $25 cards earlier and crossed the limit with this order. It’s not clear when the limit comes into play. I thought I had bought them long enough ago but apparently not.
no coupon, just using what was advertised as their promo prices on costco.com. this was the very first time i’ve ever bought iTunes from Costco because I just found out I had an account after all.
the tier1 CSR claimed that it never even charged my card because my “bank information is wrong”. later, i get an email from Discover telling me i had a transaction above my notification limit post, so it definitely DID go through, and they retroactively cancelled it.
I can understand more with stuff like Bitmo, Swych, etc. cancelling orders since they’re free, but I pay for a costco membership and I expect better tan false advertising and lies from them for simply buying what they’re actively advertising .
grrr..
Last year over at SD, a lot of people either dusted off an old Costco online account or created a new one for the iTunes deal and most were cancelled right away. Costco’s LP department is quick to pull the trigger at the littlest thing.
So combined with the old Costco account and Discover probably held its approval temporarily probably caused the cancellation. Costco reps don’t know and they shouldn’t guess. I went round and round with them a year or so ago with a cancellation and it took an email directly from LP to get the right answer (which was a slight variation of my shipping address). Personally, I hate the hair trigger but I get why it’s there to prevent fraud.
I did get them to allow me to purchase the cards after the sale ended that time and they credited me the discount after the fact.
EDIT: I should add that I had to wait for the “limit reached” error to clear. Because when you get cancelled, the system doesn’t know and won’t give you the discount.
yeah, its probably going to be a fight to get them to honor it. maybe not worth it, i dunno. i like getting GCs electronically, but i seem to have bad luck with cancellations. maybe physical GCs in store are the way to go.
Was just in a warehouse and they had this offer plenty of stock also they do accept Freedom Card for the 5% 🙂
thanks for the input, Chante…. Curious what denominations you saw? $100, $25 or 4×25 versions? And were there limits per member in store too?
They’re 4 x $25 physical cards in store. I didn’t notice a limit marked on the sign.
4 x $25 for $79.49 through 11/19 Limit 2 it shows in store.
Purchased the 4 x 25 in store today for the $79.49; limit 2; ends today (11/19); plenty of stock at the store I went to.
