Just got my card a month ago.

Few things.

1) Refund the membership anytime you're not satisfied. It's their policy. Not sure how easy it is to do it.
2) Their amex gives you 2% cash back. Some details on how that is calculated, but you can find that in store.

^ spend around around $7000 with the AMEX for the year will get you enough cash back to cover the membership fee

just get it. youll be able to use it in the us as well. and some items are cheaper there. one time i bought 10 pk cfls for 4bucks with instant rebate. and think of all the hotdogs!

Costco card also works globally and you can return things globally as well. I bought a camera in Korea and returned it here :)

From what I can dig up, yes. Just like any other store, ha har har.. ugh.

The Costco Cash card can be used as:

*
A convenient payment option in our warehouses, gas stations and on costco.ca
*
A perfect gift for family, friends, colleagues and clients

Costco Cash cards make a great alternative to carrying cash or credit cards; they do not expire, are rechargeable and can be purchased in denominations from $25 to $1,000*.

Members may check their balance on costco.ca, in warehouses by swiping the card at the red kiosk, or by calling the toll-free number on the back of the card.

Members can buy Costco Cash cards for non-members**, though only members can reload the cards. Costco Cash balances may be used toward membership or merchandise or gasoline at any Costco location in Canada, the United States or Puerto Rico.

*Costco Cash cards are sent with zero balance. To activate your Costco Cash card, please contact our customer service at 1-800-463-3783, Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (ET). An agent will be happy to activate your card for immediate use.

**A 5% surcharge applies to non-member purchases on Costco.ca.

Yep, thought so... still no help for OP.

Either use the giftcard as a membership and pay cash/debit, or just find somone with a costco card :P
