Through December 3rd, Costco members can get $100 worth of PlayStation Store gift cards for $5 off. You can also get a $50 Nintendo eShop card for $5 off. Even though it doesn't seem that important in the grand scheme of things, it's practically like getting “free” money when you're spending so much on the stores anyway. For example, if you want to purchase a $50 Switch game through the eShop, you'll save $5 by purchasing the $50 Costco gift card for $45 and then applying that credit to your account , instead of spending the money directly on the Switch. It goes without saying that anyone who is looking for a new PlayStation or Nintendo game and also has a Costco membership should definitely take advantage of this opportunity, although they will need to act quickly as sales will end after March 2nd. December ends.
Costco gift card deals run through December 2nd
The $100 PlayStation Store gift cards really come at the perfect time. Sony just recently announced a huge PlayStation Store 30th anniversary sale running from December 2nd to December 20th. The sale offers discounts on 490 games, but exact pricing information for the sale has yet to be announced. PlayStation gamers should definitely stop by the PlayStation Store on December 2nd to see if anything catches their eye.
Meanwhile, it is also worth noting that PlayStation Store gift card balance can also be used to renew PlayStation Plus membership. PlayStation Plus gives subscribers access to monthly free games, online multiplayer and, depending on the tier, access to hundreds of other titles. It's a must-have for any PS4 or PS5 gamer, and you might as well use this Costco deal to renew your PS Plus at a discount.
