Do you ever wish that you could know when certain brands of discount gift cards are coming in stock before they quickly come and quickly go?

Perhaps by ‘certain brands’ I mean Costco or Price Co. (depending on the part of the country where you reside).

If you were one of the lucky people who snagged discount Costco Cash Cards (a.k.a. discount Costco gift cards) at the end of April, you know the value of a good deal.  Or, if you’re like me, you heard about the rare Costco discount but did not order yours before the inventory went out of stock.

I do not know which day, but I heard that sometime this week everyone will have the opportunity to get discount Costco Cash Cards again!   (Remember, you don’t have to have a Costco membership to be able to use discount Costco Cash Cards at Costco warehouses, Costco gas stations, or at Costco.com.)

Set Up a Costco Alert Now to Be the First to Order Discount Costco Gift Cards

Adding Costco Cash Cards to your Plastic Jungle Alert List means you’ll know within seconds when Costco Cash Cards are in stock!  Simply sign into your Plastic Jungle account (or create one if you are a new user) and go to “My Account”.  You’ll find a whole section for “My Alerts” where you can add Costco Cash Cards to the list.  (The screen will look like this.)

Alerts Give You Access to New Gift Card Inventories Within Seconds

The moment Costco Cash Cards are in stock you’ll receive an email message (like this) notifying you that you can order Coscto gift cards at a discount while they’re in stock.

When you open the email, you’ll be given access to a special link to view the inventory of Costco discount gift cards.  You can go without setting up an Alert, but you might miss out on this rare deal.

Whether you are reading your Plastic Jungle Alert from a computer, smartphone, or tablet, you will be able to order discount Coscto gift cards as soon as you open your inbox and receive the Alert email.

Here’s to additional Costco savings this week!

P.S.  If you prefer step-by-step instructions rather than visual instructions, you might prefer my previous post on setting up Alerts.

Access to Costco bulk sizes and discount prices is NOT only for membership holders. 

I know that sounds strange, but it’s true.  Although Costco membership does mean Costco coupons will be mailed to your home on a regular basis, when you have Costco Cash Cards (i.e. Costco gift cards) you can pump Costco gasoline, eat in Costco’s food court, and buy anything your heart desires from a Costco warehouse and from Costco.com.

Love the idea of shopping at Costco wholesale, but lacking a membership card?  Stock up on discount Costco gift cards (also called Costco Cash Cards) from Plastic Jungle and you’ll unlock Costco warehouse, Costco.com, and Costco gas station savings WITHOUT a membership!  Right now, while in stock, you can stock up on $100 Costco gift cards for only $98.  Even Costco members cannot get that kind of discount on Costco Cash Cards!

You may already have a Costco membership [like me!], so you might be wondering how you’ll benefit from buying discount Costco gift cards.  Two words – ADDITIONAL SAVINGS.  As a Costco member you already have access to exclusive Costco coupons [Costco only accepts its own coupons] and Costco deals on vacations, car and home/renter’s insurance, carpet, etc.  Now you have the ability to stack Costco coupons and Costco discount prices with an additional 2% discount when you use discount Costco gift cards to pay for your Costco purchases.

Whether or not you have a Costco Warehouse membership, you can use discount Costco gift cards to save on:

Printing photos.  Check Costco.com and the photo department at your local Costco warehouse to get in on deep discounts on photobooks, passport photos, wedding invitations, birth announcements, and more!  Pay with discount Costco gift cards and your savings will multiply.

Household appliances.  Moving or replacing an old or broken appliance can be a big ticket purchase.  The beauty of buying appliances like clothes washers and dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, and vacuums from Costco is that Costco guarantees your satisfaction on every product they sell.  (With the exception of electronics which only come with a 90 day guarantee.  See Costco’s Return Policy for details.)  That means if you something goes wrong with the dishwasher you purchased from Costco, just take it back.  My husband and I deliberately bought our electronic lawn mower from Costco a couple of years ago to give ourselves the piece of mind that if something were to go wrong we would be able to return the mower.

Furniture.  Costco carries quality indoor and outdoor furniture.  Warehouses carry a few items, but Costco.com has a broader selection of couches, loveseats, sectionals, office furniture, patio sets, etc.

A word to the wise, while Costco.com accepts Costco Cash and many major credit card brands as payment, Costco warehouses only accept Costco Cash, American Express, debit cards, personal check, or cash.
