You can buy Costco gift cards, called Costco Shop Cards, either online or in Costco warehouses. However, only Costco members are allowed to purchase these gift cards. The cards come in amounts ranging from $25 to $2,000 and can be used by anyone to shop at Costco stores, gas stations, business centers, and online at Costco.com
. Where to buy Costco Shop Cards:
- Online at Costco.com through a member's account (physical cards are shipped and need activation by phone)
- In Costco warehouse stores (members only)
Costco does not sell these gift cards through other retailers like Walmart, Amazon, or Target, and they are rarely available on third-party gift card exchange sites except at a premium
. To summarize, you need a Costco membership to buy the gift cards, but anyone can use them to shop at Costco. If you are not a member, you can ask a member friend or family to purchase a gift card for you
