I noticed something odd when I tried to redeem a shop card online last night. It seems now Costco will store the card info into your ‘Costco wallet’ kind of like how Amazon stores your GC balances for you. I really don’t like this because if your account gets banned, then good luck getting the funds out. I get it’s convenient since you no longer have to keep the gift card around; I just wish we had a CHOICE whether we wanted to bank the balance to the account or not. No word on whether if you add it to account A, if you can still use that GC on account B in store.
