October 7, 2024: The Costco Anywhere Visa® Card offers a $75 statement credit after spending $1,500 within the first 3 months of opening the card. This limited time offer is available through October 27, 2024. HT to Doctor of Credit for spotting this bonus.

This card doesn’t usually offer a welcome bonus of any kind, so if you’re thinking of getting the card, now’s as good a time as any, even though the welcome bonus isn’t terribly compelling on its own.

My take: A sad bonus, but the card usually offers nothing

I’m not going to get excited about a $75 bonus for getting a new card, even if there were no spending requirement. (There’s a $1,500 spending requirement on this one.) But we’re covering this one because the card usually offers nothing.

If you’re a Costco member, you should probably have this card for its 4% rewards on gas on up to $7,000 a year of spending. But there are other, better cards to use at Costco in most cases.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Costco card have an extended warranty?

No. The Costco card no longer carries an extended warranty—that benefit was dropped from the card years ago. If you want a credit card extended warranty on your Costco purchase, check out our list of the best cards to use at Costco.

Does the Costco card earn cash back?

Kind of. The Costco cards earn rewards that you’ll receive as a reward certificate with your February statement. This reward certificate may be redeemed for cash at Costco warehouses in the U.S.
