Costco questions

[Bell Rep]

Can I buy something from Costco with their GC ? the GC will only have about 10% of the total price for the item

Is it possible to use someones membership ? like do the card have a picture or require ID ?

If I buy something with GC, I dont get the 12 month return policy ? if I do can I return it without the membership in hand ?

Does stores like FS and BB PM with Costco ?

The thing I want to buy is the WD 500GB External HDD for $179.99 and as you can see I dont have a membership

1)Yes the membership cards have a picture on it.

2)As for the 12 month return policy that will not be in play for some items.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you use a GC then the membership necessity does not apply, but in the 10% of the total value scenario, I am not sure.

As long as you have the receipt, you can always say it was a gift...again I am not sure what policies they have for a HDD.

I have succesfully PMd with Best Buy, but that was WITH a receipt from Costco in hand.

If you can get to the Mississauga Store, I would take you in on my membership. I am there once a week anyways.

Yes you can without a membership.

Yes there is a picture and the person has to be with you. You can't 'borrow' someone's membership.

If I buy something with GC, I dont get the 12 month return policy ? if I do can I return it without the membership in hand ?

a) there's no 12 month return policy on computer peripherals. I believe it's 14 days. and b) if it weren't a computer peripheral no membership = no extended returns. It's a perk you get when purchasing a membership.

Does stores like FS and BB PM with Costco ?

No they do not from my experience since Costco is not a public store but rather a private membership club.

Can I use someone elses membership online ? obviously the CC would have different names and address as the membership holder

Just let your friend buy it for you and you re-imburse him/her.

I know I can refund the membership but will they make me refund the item I bought ?

[Bell Rep]

Can someone that shop at the Downsview Costco please buy me the most minimum valued GC and I will pay full price for it and will meet up there

Or whoever is in my area and would purchase a GC from their Costco and resell it back to me (around the keele and sheppard area)

So if I use a Costco GC and not having a membership, do I still get the Costco warrenty ?

No Costco warranty for you, your manufacturer warranty will be fully valid though so you will have to deal with the manufacturer not Costco.

[Bell Rep]

Not even 30 days refund or exchange ?
