目前Costco线下店面只接受MasterCard。
如果你在逛超市时有所留意,会发现礼品卡的区域挂着一种叫Prepaid MasterCard的卡片。而这种卡片账上是有储值的,激活后可以在线上线下所有接受MasterCard的地方使用。这些Prepaid MasterCard有管理费或激活费,以及购买时对ID的要求,下面会列举出来。(来源:RFD)
然后,我们介绍过American Express Cobalt Card,这张卡在Grocery Store可获得5倍积分,保守估计就是5%的消费回报;这张卡本身的Welcome Bonus就是30,000 Membership Rewards。如果点数用得好,回报可以更高。因为是Membership Rewards Selected,那么最合适的用法还是兑换成万豪酒店积分。
所以这里的玩法就是:先申请AmEx Cobalt,去Grocery Store购买Prepaid MasterCard,再用Prepaid MasterCard去Costco消费。
