How to Use Coupons at Costco

September 24, 2015 by Alexa Mason

How to Use Coupons at Costco
A Costco warehouse membership is popular for many families trying to save money. You can purchase groceries and household items in bulk. Many of the items are less expensive than in grocery stores. Costco also offers low priced gas at many of its stores. Executive members receive a cash rebate for their purchases and Costco offers coupon savings.


Costco sends out a coupon booklet to enrolled customers monthly. The great thing about Costco is that you don’t have to bring the coupon booklet to the store with you. The coupons are automatically taken off when you checkout. Prices in the store are clearly marked if there is a coupon available.

But Costco does not accept manufacturers coupons. The coupons that you receive in the Sunday paper and use at your local grocery store are not accepted at Costco. Costco may not accept manufacturer coupons because most of those coupons are for a much smaller quantity than Costco sells and are time-consuming at the cash register. Lines can be long at Costco warehouses and they try to streamline the purchase process as much as possible.

Even though Costco does not accept any coupons other than their own, there is a way to use multiple coupons Costco.

Checkout 51 is an app that offers rebates on purchase. There is a list of available offers on the app and website. Checkout 51 updates the offer list every Thursday morning. Purchase items on the list at any store (including Costco). Take a photo of your receipt and upload it to the Checkout 51 app. Your account will be credited for the offer. A check is sent when your account balance reaches $20. Offers are only good for one week. When the next set of offers are loaded on Thursday, the previous offers expire. Quantities are limited and the limit is stated in each offer.

Ibotta is another app that gives cash rebates for Costco purchases. Ibotta offers are store specific. A recent search of Ibotta found many rebate offers from Costco. To use Ibotta you must complete tasks to unlock the rebates. After the rebates are unlocked, go shopping and upload your receipt to the Ibotta app. Cash will be deposited into your Ibotta account within 48 hours.

Snap is another app that gives cash rebates for shopping at Costco. Snap offers are valid for any grocery store or warehouse club. Download the Snap app. Check which items have rebate offers. Purchase the promoted items at Costco. Snap a photo of your receipt and upload it to the app. A check will be sent to you when you have earned $20.

It is possible to earn rebates from multiple sources for one Costco purchase. If an item had a Costco coupon and rebate offer on Checkout 51, Ibotta and Snap the purchaser would be able to use the Coscto coupon and claim the rebate from three apps. If the customer is also an Executive member of Costco, they would receive a 3% rebate on the purchase.

Do you have a Costco membership? Are you an Executive level member? Have you earned any of these apps to earn rebates at Costco?
