Are you using your Costco Wholesale membership to the fullest?
A Costco customer took to social media to show members what they may be missing when it comes to their wholesale membership.
Ravi Wadan, a self-described financial educator, posted a video on TikTok showing viewers a possibly hidden treasure that some people may not know about: gift cards for less money.
At Costco.com, Costco members can purchase gift card bundles to a variety of stores, airlines, and restaurants for less than the actual card amount.
“I’m surprised how many people don’t know, but Costco.com actually sells gift cards to some of your favorite places at a discount,” Wadan shared on his TikTok, which has garnered more than 513,000 views.
For example, members can purchase $100 gift cards to several different restaurants for $80 off.
Southwest travelers can enjoy spending just $450 on a $500 gift card.

Many Costco fans were quick to comment on Wadan’s TikTok, asking a variety of questions and praising him for the money-saving find.
“Is there any additional fee added to purchase or activate it?” one commenter asked. Waden responded by saying there is no fee.
“I’ve had Costco for a long time and I never paid attention,” another TikTok user commented.
“And then you pay with a 5% cash back card to save even more,” noted one commenter.
Several TikTokers shared their interest in Starbucks and Apple gift cards, as well as a Disney gift card.

One commenter posed the question: “How do they make money from this?”
Wadan shared that he “really doesn’t know the optics behind this,” but that shouldn’t stop anyone from getting their hands on this deal.
“If you’re not looking for gift cards on Costco.com, you’re not getting the most out of your Costco membership,” Wadan commented at the end of his video.
FOX Business has reached out to Costco and Wadan for comment.
