Hat tip to Dansdeals
I haven’t seen these at my Costco in Portland for a long time. Does anyone know if the gift cards on Alaska’s website trigger 5x rewards on the Amex platinum? I tried a test purchase on a small balance gift card, but don’t want to have to wait to see if the points post.
Didn’t realize that Hulu got yanked. Bummer. Must’ve been recent.
$500 Hawaiian Airlines gift card is now $439.99
Added, thanks
$50 off $500 Costco coupon works on gift cards. You can get one by asking nicely via chat.
WinRAR. Thank you so much! Just now easily got one.
Just make sure to have $500+ in your cart. One $450 gift card is not enough to trigger the discount.
worked me as well, thanks
I used a $50 off $500 back in June and was told via chat today that members are only allowed 1. Were you able to get more than 1 in a member year?
This was the only one I used this year.
Great stacking with the Point Card. Today is the last day for the 10% off of that, plus it would count towards their 7 day streak.
But chatting right now. They denied me the 10% off. They said these cards aren’t on sale and the 10% shop card ended in October
Those are the regular prices Costco charges for Hulu, Xbox, & Nintendo. The Alaska one might be the only one truly on sale as it’s the only one that says “While supplies last.” That being said, they used to previously sell the Alaska ones for a standard 10% discount in the past, and then they may have temporarily gotten rid of them. ​I’m not too sure about Southwest as it doesn’t have similar language that would imply it’s on sale, so that could be the standard price they’re selling them at going forward.
The Alaska one comes and goes I think. So if you don’t get it now then it’ll probably come back around again at some point, but no guarantee on exactly when.
P.S. The Alaska Flyertalk thread on it is from November 2020. It may be a pandemic special to try to juice people into flying/get people into locking up cash with Alaska that could go away once travel loads get more back to normal.
Can we use Costco GC to buy these GCs?
Yes
Hulu has been that price for very long time – might be regular price at costco.
Not sure about others.
Regular price for Nintendo eshop too.
