Costco Cash Card?
« on: June 16, 2013, 04:05:02 PM »
I have a Costco Exec Membership and the Costco Business Amex, so I get a maximum rebate. The max rebate every year is $750 or thereabouts. My question is thus: do I get the rebate when purchasing a Costco Cash Card http://www.costco.com/Costco-Cash-Card.product.10024438.html and then is it possible to cash out those cards using Amazon Payment or other service with no to minimal service fee?

This so called "Cash Card" is simply a "Costco Gift Card".

Right, and can it or any other Costco card be purchased and then somehow redeemed and still getting the rebate?

I would assume that youd get the rebate on merchandise purchased with the cash card but not the card iyself

I'm pretty sure you get the rebate when purchasing the cash card but I don't see how you can cash it out? You can buy merchandise at Costco with it, Costco gas, Costco.com, sell it to a gift card site or ebay. All the cashing out options will eat your 2% margin.
