Yes they do. I think you can only redeem it at a Costco though.

The checks get sent out with the February statement. You can redeem it at Costco by giving it to the cashier, and you can just get cash for it or buy a bunch of stuff and pay for it with that (and if the check is for more than the total of stuff you buy you'll get the difference back in cash). The only time a cashier won't cash your check is if they don't have enough money in the register to cover it, but if it's under $100 it shouldn't be a problem.

If it's a big enough check (usually at least $500), then talk to a supervisor or manager and they can convert it into a check that you can take to the bank.

They usually have more money up at Membership, and will cash it there.

We got the chaise sofa and the wood inside the arms is snapping after like 5 months. Not sure how I'm supposed to return a large sofa but it would be a pain regardless.

I'm happy with a leather couch & some end tables we bought about a half-year ago. No issues, very comfy and only spend like $1k across all of it.

Do it. I started using mine in May for all of my discretionary purchases. I just checked and the end of the year I got $159.21 cash back. That pays for almost 3 Costco memberships.

Ah... imagine having 3 memberships instead of one. You know, just in case.

The Polish is inferior to the dog anyway. I too spent a long time trying to convince myself that the Polish was good (and it sorta is) but it just leaves me wanting for a proper sausage.

The dog is the pinnacle of it's hotdoggers and therefore wins

Edit: might be because I grew up with a bunch of great uncles and poo poo that made proper sausage and lived in a town formerly called Berlin. Had so much quality sausage in my holes from a very young age.

Just lol if you've never had a sausage so flavourful and aromatic that your farts caused you to vacate each room you dropped a bomb in.
Farts that seem more vapour than gas and settle into all of your clothing. Farts you carry with you for days after you last let one rip. A deep musk you can taste.

I pity anyone who's never had that kind of sausage

It's a hotdog pretending to be a sausage and becomes less than the sum of it's parts.

It's still wonderful but dog is better

I ate every half meter rostbratwurst I could find in Berlin and Frankfurt over the last few weeks; while I agree that they are better, the polish at Costco is really good too.

I think it's pretty good.

It's just not as good as the hot dog + soda (with refill) or italian sausage.

I haven't had a chicken bake in a while either I have fond memories of those as a teenager.

I have a dresser from Costco that I love. I wish I could have bought more of the set, but they were sold out of the rest. Only issue with it being that it is heavy since it is made with wood as opposed to press board.

That's not a negative at all. Particle board is poo poo.

Wood is usually lighter than pressboard because pressboard is like 90% glue which is heavy.
