Retail giant Costco is currently running a promotion on PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop gift cards. Retailers all over the world sell gift cards for various digital storefronts.

Every year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals give shoppers the chance to get gift cards at a discount. 2024 is no exception to the rule, with deals readily available at various stores. Gamers with a Costco membership may want to turn their attention to the big-box store, as it is currently offering a solid deal on PlayStation and Nintendo gift cards.

Until December 3, Costco members can get $100 worth of PlayStation Store gift cards for $5 off. They can also get a $50 Nintendo eShop card for $5 off. While that doesn’t seem all that significant in the grand scheme of things, it’s practically like getting “free” money if one was going to spend that much on the stores anyway. For example, if you want to buy a $50 Switch game through the eShop, you are saving $5 by buying the $50 gift card from Costco for $45 and then applying that credit to your account as opposed to spending the money directly on the Switch. Needless to say, anyone in the market for a new game on PlayStation or Nintendo that also has a Costco membership handy should definitely consider jumping on this opportunity, though they need to act fast as the sale ends after December 2.
Costco Gift Card Deals Run Through December 2
The $100 worth of PlayStation Store gift cards has really come at the perfect time. Sony just recently announced a massive PlayStation Store 30th Anniversary Sale that will run from December 2 to December 20. The sale will offer discounts on 490 games, though exact pricing information for the sale has yet to be revealed. PlayStation gamers should definitely check out the PlayStation Store on December 2 to see if anything catches their eye.
In the meantime, it’s also worth pointing out that PlayStation Store gift card balance can also be used to re-up one’s PlayStation Plus membership. PlayStation Plus gives subscribers access to monthly free games, online multiplayer, and, depending on the tier, access to hundreds of other titles. It’s a must-have for any PS4 or PS5 gamer, and one might as well take advantage of this Costco deal to renew their PS Plus at a discount.
PlayStation 5
Sony’s PlayStation 5 is part of the ninth console generation and debuted with a launch lineup that included Demon’s Souls and Astro’s Playroom. The console comes with a Blu-ray disc, although a digital-only edition is also available for a cheaper price.
