I do receive my cash back cheques in the mail but can only use them in a Costco store in Canada. The closest Costco to us is either Lethbridge AB which is a 5 hour drive or Kelowna BC which is a 6 hour drive. Now my cheques only total 149.00, it would be nice to have the cash back or even spend it on groceries or merchandise but we would have to spend that much on gas to get to our nearest Costco Store. Is there any other way to use our reward cheques? Maybe online purchases?<br />

<p>Like previous posters, my experience this time was that the cashier didn't have enough cash in her drawer so I had to wait for a supervisor to bring more. I didn't mind waiting a few minutes to get my $300+ back.</p>
<p>Even though I could easily spend the balance if it were redeemable only as store credit, I really appreciate that Costco/AMEX has the cash back option.<br />

Every other year I have spent the full amount on merchandise (which isn't that big a deal, I bought things I would have bought anyway and stocked up on pantry items that wouldn't expire before we could use them), but this year I bought a few things and then the cashier happily handed me the balance in cash. I am sure I will spend more than that at Costco before the summer is over (when the rebate check would have expired) but it was very nice not to have to do it all at once.</p>DanielCohen commented on 'Get Your Costco Amex Rebate Back in Cash'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20168e879beea970c2012-03-06T10:17:38Z2012-03-06T10:17:38ZDanielCohenhttp://www.calameo.com/books/00121659966d43934c6f8When we used the check to pay for a shopping trip last year the cashier didn't have enough cash, so...<p>When we used the check to pay for a shopping trip last year the cashier didn't have enough cash, so we held up the line waiting for our change.

<p>At our Costco they tell you to go to the customer service desk to get cash. They used to do it at the check outs but I think they ended up giving out too much cash and it would deplete their till so they started having people cash out with customer service instead.<br />

<p>Costco's Customer Service desk told me I could buy whatever I wanted or I could simply cash it in. I was amazed telling them that by using it to buy products from them, they were selling at the retail price but paying only their cost (i.e. saving money). But allowing the check to be cashed was 100% out of their pocket.</p>
<p>It took the lady a minute to understand what I meant but she got it and said "It's what our customers want." And that is why I am a loyal Costco/AmEx customer. I bought a set of phones and took a cash balance.</p>SF commented on 'Get Your Costco Amex Rebate Back in Cash'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20167637383a8970b2012-03-05T23:10:48Z2012-03-06T03:34:08ZSFGot a couple of things I needed, got the rest back as my change.<p>Got a couple of things I needed, got the rest back as my change.</p>thad commented on 'Get Your Costco Amex Rebate Back in Cash'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20163027f0216970d2012-03-05T23:08:16Z2012-03-06T03:34:08Zthadhttp://my2fish.wordpress.com/I've done it 2 years in a row now - just go up to the service counter, or there is...<p>I've done it 2 years in a row now - just go up to the service counter, or there is a manager's counter near the checkout lanes.</p>

My Costco membership was $287.30 I am at the Executive level (2% rebate level) as we spend a lot of money there. We also have a Costco Business AmEx. That rebate was $432.54. We like this card as it's 4% on gas, 2% on restaurants, 2% on travel and 1% on everything else. If you buy gas at Costco (which is already the cheapest in town) with your Coscto AmEx you get 4% discount. I think this is the best deal around. It comes to about a $200 savings for me each year.</p>
<p>Anyway, we were able to deposit $719.84 in our account for just shopping there. This is just icing on the cake as we'd shop there anyway.... they've got good stuff.</p>
