Through December 3rd, Costco members can get $100 in PlayStation Store gift cards for $5 off. They can also get a $50 Nintendo eShop Card for $5 off. Although it doesn't seem that important in the grand scheme of things, it's practically like getting “free” money if you were to spend that much at the stores anyway. For example, if you want to buy a $50 Switch game through the eShop, you'll save $5 by buying the $50 Costco gift card for $45 and then applying that credit to your account instead of spending the money directly on the Switch. Needless to say, anyone in the market for a new PlayStation or Nintendo game who also has a Costco membership handy should definitely consider jumping on this opportunity, though they'll have to act fast as the sale ends after December 2nd.
Costco gift card deals run through December 2nd
The $100 PlayStation Store gift cards have certainly come at the perfect time. Sony recently announced a massive PlayStation Store 30th anniversary sale that will run from December 2nd to December 20th. The sale will offer discounts on 490 games, although exact pricing information for the sale has yet to be revealed. PlayStation gamers should definitely check out the PlayStation Store on December 2nd to see if anything catches their eye.
In the meantime, it's also worth pointing out that PlayStation Store gift card balances can also be used to resume their PlayStation Plus membership. PlayStation Plus gives subscribers access to monthly free games, online multiplayer and, depending on tier, access to hundreds of other titles. It's a must-have for any PS4 or PS5 gamer, and you might as well take advantage of this Costco deal to renew your PS Plus at a discount.
