How to redeem your Costco Cash Back Rewards

Costco Anywhere Visa cardmembers receive cash back rewards via a credit card reward certificate issued with their February billing statement for purchases made through their December statement. Any cardmember whose card is open, who is an active Costco member and has earned more than $1 in cash back rewards is eligible to receive a credit card reward certificate.

There are several ways you may receive the credit card reward certificate:

• Via a physical reward certificate: Cardmembers not enrolled in Paperless with Citi receive their credit card reward certificate with their February statement.
• Via an emailed reward certificate: Cardmembers enrolled in Paperless with Citi receive their credit card reward certificate via email on or shortly after the February statement closing date. Emailed credit card reward certificates are sent separately and are not attached to digital statements.
• Via Citi Mobile^® App: You can access your credit card reward certificate via the Citi Mobile^® App shortly after your February statement closes. Log in and select “Access Certificate” or “Redeem” to view your certificate on your mobile device.

Once you receive your credit card reward certificate, you may redeem it for cash or merchandise at any U.S. Costco warehouse, including in Puerto Rico. The Costco warehouse may fulfill your cash back request via check at its discretion.

Your credit card reward certificate expires on December 31 of the year it was issued. The expiration date appears clearly on the certificate. (For more information on credit card reward certificates, check out our FAQs.
