Our Verdict
Nice discount here for Costco members. Tangentially, there’s a great deal for new members to buy Costco membership via Groupon, details can be found in this blogpost.
Doesn’t appear to be available online. Is it in store only?
so much hate here in the comments on this deal. just sharing in hopes this is helpful in saving $$$ w/ this
context- i travel for work and use uber, which my employer reimburses
$74.99 for $100 gift card, getting 5.25% back on bofa customized rewards. that’s another $3.94 off pre-tax
then dollar for dollar, employer reimburses the uber trip. eg $50 trip used in gift card is reimbursed $50, when the actual price paid per $1 uber dollar is much lower
you can stretch this even further with uber one, 6% back, though you can’t bank it separately
Yawn. $79.99 is the regular price
Already getting to be too many tacky little deals on here. But posting something that goes on sale regularly when it’s regular price is bizarre.
Even more bizarre to be caught up over something so minor.
I thought 79.99 was an everyday price for uber card at Costco. The deal comes when they drop to 74.99?
On a similar note. My Costco doesn’t display Doordash gift cards anymore, but they have them at the checkout counter.
I have found that the Uber cards are available pretty much all the time now, just use the search bar and you’ll see the Uber card as the only option. Don’t click through, add it directly to your cart. The two week restriction always applies though. Always good for a quick refill.
Maybe time to change the headline because IC cards haven’t been available at Costco for 6 months.
anyone know if instacart discount GCs can be bought in store?
It’s a good deal if you use Uber, but read the restrictions so you don’t get unpleasant surprises… i.e. you can use the gift card on Uber rides if they are reserved in advance. So if you are going to the airport, you need to request your Uber when you are ready to leave instead of reserving in advance.
I don’t use Uber (rides) and it’s still a good deal because you can use it on Uber Eats pickup order.
That would be if Uber didn’t inflate the prices more than the store.
Stores do that, not Uber.
Pick the places that don’t inflate the prices. It’s not rocket science.
Not sure what you are talking about. Gift card balance can be used for scheduled or on demand
