In your February statement, you will receive a check/gc to Costco, redeemable for cash there. If you read your cardholders agreement, you would know that already.

I am anxiously waiting for mine. I'll buy myself a present with the money.

Not to hijack the OP's thread or anything, but this thread reminds of a question I have about Costco membership. A few time I went to Costco, they temp me to join the Executive membership where one of its rewards is cash back. I always turn them down because I used Amex Blue Cash reward card to pay for my purchases at Costco. I wonder, can I join the executive membership but still use my blue cash card to paid for my purchases so I could "stack" my cash rewards?

Yes

the EBM is separate from any cash rewards from CC's

I stack my EBM with costco trueearnings

3% CB when I shop @Costco

I was wondering about that too. I just got a Costco AMEX a few months back.

btw-my regular AMEX cash rebate card pays out in January now. $1,829.87 this time around.

Free money is good.

You have to spend $2500 through the main B&M cash registers before you even break even. Gas doesn't count, and neither do online purchases. If you spend $2500 on regular merch and food, then it makes sense.

As for the AMEX rebate, does anyone know if these will have an expiration date? It will be my first one.

You charge 90K a year on a single CC? What the hell do you buy?

6 months like all other checks. You can cash it at any Costco, what's the problem?

exec membership: $50/yr extra for 2% additional cashback
breakeven: $2500 = $208/month

if u dont get $50 cashback, they refund the difference between what u get and $50.

This seems like a no brainer.
Why isnt everyone doing it?!!? Is there a catch?

but there's no drawback.
if u dont get $50/yr in extra cashback, costco gives u back the difference.

if there's a downside, pls explain

Another drawback is by having so much food, you get fat fat fat.

It was $77,733.49 (remember 5% for gasoline).

I charge everything plus maybe $3000-$3500 a month in my wife's business expenses which she gets reimbursed for.

I still haven't figured out what I got from my other CCs, which I only use if someone doesn't take AMEX.

About the only thing I don't charge is my mortgage and taxes, and I wish I could.

is that $77k all at costco????
if not, why not a 2% credit card (charles swabb) or 1.4% (emigrant bank)? and use costco only for resturants and gas.

No, I'm charging everything I can on my AMEX green cash rebate card.

The green is 5% at super markets, gas stations, and drug stores.
