I saw your post shortly after you posted it, was about to text my DH, then remembered he had said we’d spent our DGC budget on several of Best Buy’s $50 DGC for $42.50 last week. Guess who came to me a couple hours later, having seen the Costco offer on FB! Turns out we hadn’t blown that discounted DVC dues budget after all!DGC at Costco is live, max of 2 while supplies last. $250 for $224.99

Mostly Disney. For them it's about cash flow and getting you to use/visit and spend more. There's also a small percentage of people that forgets or loses their cards, but mostly about cash flow.I always wonder where the discounts on these cards come from. Is Disney selling these to Costco for $220 each and Costco making 5 bucks a pop?
Yup and that's going to be where I spend most of it! I guess it's also very similar to Rakuten where the companies give us whatever marketing money was set aside directly through the shopping portals to get us to shop. When Costco or BJs or Sam's gives an extra discount on gift cards, such as when Southwest goes to 429 or 399 is that coming from the big box store's bottom line or have the companies basically subsidized those extra discounts as well.Mostly Disney. For them it's about cash flow and getting you to use/visit and spend more. There's also a small percentage of people that forgets or loses their cards, but mostly about cash flow.
They're giving away some of their "profit" to get your money today. It helps if they're struggling with cash flow, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're short. They can also use it for investments, improvements, etc.
It's like an interest free loan for them. You give them a loan and they'll pay you back at some point in the future. The difference is they'll pay you back with a service they have full control of the margins. So instead of a 20% profit in dining (made up number), they'll only have 10%, but got you to pay and commit to use it months/years in advance.
The second one is they're giving you a $25 discount betting that you're going to spend even more than $250 with them and they can recover what they gave you.
One of the few areas where I can see it really hurts them is DVC dues. They don't have any profit there, so technically that's lost money to them.
I was just coming on to say this! I don't know what made me wake up this morning and check Costco's website but something told me to do it!DGC at Costco is live, max of 2 while supplies last. $250 for $224.99

My SAMS membership expires in 4 days so I'm hoping Costco will continue carrying DGC too! I have to pay off our April cruise!I'm excited for the Costco offer! I have 5% back at warehouses on my Best Buy Citibank card. Hopefully that applies to Costco online. If not , 10% off my annual dues is still good
I do hope Costco starts carrying Disney gift cards. Especially since I didn't renew my Sam's membership that expired a couple weeks ago...
