One of my coworkers got her AC replaced with a costco deal, and it included a $1600 costco cash back. This was in the form of a check that could only be redeemed at Costco, for a drug dealer wad of cash. The customer service agent told her that after this month, they'll no longer be doing the cash-outs, and will instead put that on a gift card or something. Bogus!

The Costco Citi Visa card gives you 4% back on gas, 3% on travel and restaurants, 2% from Costco purchases, and 1% back in everything else. I have most of my bills set to auto pay from that card, the 1% back from my bills alone is much better than the nothing I was getting when I was just paying bills with my debit card. If you're looking to get another credit card, the Costco Visa is a solid choice. Especially if you're going to make any large purchases at Costco like furniture or a set of tires. My rewards check should be about $200 this year, but it could be more if I decide to make a couple large purchases this month. I'm considering buying a loveseat and booking a trip to Vegas but it'll probably end up being one or the other. I have to do it soon though or else the cash back will go on next year's rewards check. canyoneer posted:One of my coworkers got her AC replaced with a costco deal, and it included a $1600 costco cash back. They can also take the check and write you a new one for the same amount that you can actually take to the bank. That's what my Costco does for all Citi Visa rewards checks that are over $500.

I think the Citi Visa card is great. 2% back at Costco stacked on the executive rebate is not bad at all. Plus the card is the membership card so there is some convenience added. When I was looking at it a lot of complaints were with Citi themselves and didn't seem to be a risk for me personally. After a year or so I got an instant credit increase on request. They post payments before the money is out of my bank. The gas is at any gas station with the exception of grocery store gas stations, basically. The upside of only getting cash back once a year is that it does build into a serious payday, but I would rather redeem at will. My usual complaint with rewards cards is that after the sign up bonus it seems like forever until I can earn anything good, so multiple cards and churning really amplifies that problem. I'm debating a new couch or a gas stove with mine right now.

Paul MaudDib posted:The 4% gas is really good. You also get an extra 2y warranty on major appliance purchases, and Costco has some good deals there. The reason I got a costco membership in the first place was because they had the fridge I was looking at for $350 cheaper than Menard's, so it was literally better to pay the membership and buy it through costco. It's not just appliances, TVs and computers get the extra 2 years on top of their existing 2 year warranty for a total of 4 years warranty at no cost. https://www.costco.com/concierge-two-plus-two-warranty.html Getting free 4 years of coverage on a laptop just by using your card is a good bonus

How does the warranty stuff work anyways (Gold membership only)? IIRC Costco only has a 30-day refund on electronics. Can you say there's an issue with an electronic within 2 years and have it refunded? I'm curious because I bought a Vizio Soundbar (SB3651) last year and it's been trash with freezing trying to sync, a/v delay but it's past the 30-day period. I also don't have the box anymore or receipt, but they should be able to lookup the purchase on my account. Is it possible to get it replaced at the very least?

If you know the Costco people behind the desk they might help you out with a return, though. But they usually frown on it because people would just return their tv/computer/whatever every year and get a new one.

I don't give a poo poo about min/maxing and I happen to like getting the rewards once a year. It's like a free tax return gift. I have $340 coming back to me in February for doing nothing.

Looks like it the basic setup where repairs are handled by 3rd party and paid by Costco. If it's not economical to repair they give you a refund. Here's a post from AVForums quote:We bought a Sammy 46UEDx000 from Costco in 2012 and has served us well until recently, when I noticed some vertical lines on the edge and then some more a couple of inches in from the edge. Only really visible on certain colours but on all input sources and the test screen. FCKGW fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jan 10, 2020 |

My only gripe with the card is that the local tolling company doesn’t identify themselves as the right kind of company for the travel cash back category.

I have an executive membership for work and use the Costco CC for most work related things, but that account is also linked to my personal Costco CC so I get my personal cashback in February and also my executive cashback check thingy when the renewal hits in October. I have no idea why they let us have multiple credit cards linked to the same Costco membership, but it's awesome.

The Hatch chiles can be frozen. Freeze them in ice cube trays or in small containers so they can be portioned easily after they're frozen.

Who the gently caress gets bills in the mail in 2020? The only one that physically comes to my door is the receipt, which i pay via direct deposit, for my sewer. No idea why they don't just email it to me.

CEC sucks balls for that and getting your ARC setup working is basically voodoo. Newer sound bars, tvs and receivers are implementing eARC so who knows if it'll get better or not.
