What I Hate about Costco Rabate money is my money. There should be a way to request a direct deposit directly into my bank account. Or, I should be able to request a check. But no, I have to drive in and go to the front desk to cash a rebate in. Holly Cow! what if I lived a hundred miles away and needed MY cash? I've put up with this for years and swallowed my complaints. Today (5/15/2021), I went in to cash MY rebate, and Costco's policy has changed. Now you have to go all the way into the store and buy something to use it. Even the employees think it's stupid and told me to buy something inexpensive, and the cashier will give me back the remainder of MY money in change. What Costco rebates are beginning to amount to are loyalty discounts on Costco purchases. When I received my few hundred dollars in change, I went back to the front desk and asked if they would exchange all the twenties for hundred dollar bills. They wouldn't even do that. For the first time in years, I'm considering shopping elsewhere. I might sell all my stock also.
