A Costco shopper used social media to highlight potential overlooked benefits of the wholesale membership.

Ravi Wadan, who describes himself as a finance educator, shared a video on TikTok revealing a lesser-known perk: discounted gift cards.

On Costco.com, members have the opportunity to buy packs of gift cards for a range of stores, airlines, and eateries at a price lower than the card's actual value.

"It surprises me how many people don't know this, but Costco.com actually sells gift cards to some of your favorite places at a discount," Wadan stated on his TikTok, which has attracted more than 513,000 viewers.

Numerous Costco enthusiasts swiftly responded to Wadan's TikTok, posing several queries and lauding him for the budget-friendly discovery.

"Is there any additional fee added on to purchase or activate it??," a user inquired. In reply, Waden clarified that there's no fee.

"I have Costco for ages and I never paid attention," remarked another TikTok viewer.

"And then you pay with a 5% cash back card to get even more savings," observed another commenter.
