Not all Costcos have 'em.  Call first.

Costco Exec members get 2% back on all purchases.  Plus SPG is worth at least 2 cents.

Ahhh gotchya.  Unfortunately I'm not a Costco Exec.   But in this case it's not very relevant since none of the Coscto's near me have the GCs.  =(

its worth being the costco exec bec if u dont get the $50 (more then reg membership) back from 2%, then u can "return" the membership or theyll refund u the difference.

also when i signed up they were offering $20 for new signups
