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 offers readily available at various stores. Gamers with a Costco membership may want to turn their attention to the department store, as it's currently offering a solid deal on PlayStation and Nintendo gift cards.

Through December 3, Costco members can get $100 worth of PlayStation Store gift cards with a $5 discount. They can also get a $50 Nintendo eShop card with a $5 discount. Although that doesn't seem that significant in the grand scheme of things, it's basically like getting “free” money if you were going to spend that much in stores anyway. For example, if you want to buy a $50 Switch game through the eShop, you'll save $5 by purchasing the $50 gift card from Costco for $45 and then applying that credit to your account instead of spending the money directly on the Switch. It goes without saying that anyone looking for a new game on PlayStation or Nintendo who also has a Costco subscription on hand should definitely consider taking this opportunity, although they need to act fast as the sale ends after December 2.
Costco gift card offers last until December 2nd
PlayStation Store gift cards worth $100 have truly arrived at the perfect time. Sony recently announced a huge PlayStation Store 30th Anniversary Sale that will run from December 2nd to December 20th. The sale will offer discounts on 490 games, although exact pricing information for the sale has yet to be revealed. PlayStation players should definitely check out the PlayStation Store on December 2nd to see if anything catches their eye.
Meanwhile, it's also worth pointing out that your PlayStation Store gift card balance can also be used to top up your PlayStation Plus subscription. PlayStation Plus offers subscribers access to monthly free games, online multiplayer and, depending on the level, access to hundreds of other titles. It's a must-have for any PS4 or PS5 gamer, and you could even take advantage of this Costco deal to renew your PS Plus at a discount.
