Every February, two significant events occur for Costco members. Firstly, it’s the time when they receive their Costco membership renewal notification, which includes the Executive Membership Costco cashback rewards check. Additionally, members receive the annual cashback rewards from their Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi. Although both are referred to as cashback rewards, they originate from distinct programs available to Costco members. Keep reading to gain insights on some of the biggest queries regarding Costco rewards checks.

Cash-back requests may be fulfilled in an alternative form (e.g., check or electronic transfer) at the warehouse’s discretion. Please note that they cannot be used on Costco.com, Costco Travel, or the Costco Mobile® App.
What happens if I don’t use my entire credit card reward certificate on my purchase?
If you redeem only a portion of the certificate for merchandise, you will receive the remaining balance in cash at the Costco warehouse register upon checkout.
When does the credit card reward certificate expire?
The Costco reward certificate expiration date for your Costco Anywhere Visa Card is December 31st of the issuance year. Prior to the certificate’s expiration, it should be redeemed in person at any U.S. Costco warehouse, including Puerto Rico.
What if I lose my certificate?
You can request a replacement credit card reward certificate through Citi® Online. Log in, click the “Access Certificate” link, choose your preferred delivery method, and submit your selection. Each replacement certificate comes with a new certificate number, rendering previous certificates ineligible for redemption.
What is the number in the upper right corner of my credit card reward certificate?

Will I receive separate credit card reward certificates with multiple Costco Anywhere Visa® Card accounts?
Yes, you will receive separate credit card reward certificates for each Costco Anywhere Visa Card account you hold, provided you are the Primary Cardholder for each.
What happens to my credit card reward certificate if I cancel my Costco membership?
If your Costco membership is no longer valid, your Costco Anywhere Visa® Card may be canceled. Any unredeemed cash-back rewards in the form of a credit card reward certificate will be forfeited. However, once you’ve received a credit card reward certificate, you can still redeem it. To ensure your membership remains active, consider enrolling in the membership auto-renew feature with Costco.
I received my February statement but need help finding my credit card reward certificate. Why?

How do I find my rewards and credit card reward certificate details?
The easiest way to access your rewards and credit card reward certificate information is by logging into Citi® Online or using the Citi Mobile® App. You can view your cash-back rewards and certificate status, and request a replacement if needed.
How do I identify my billing statement and billing period?
The gray box in the upper left section of your statement can determine the month of each billing statement. The example below is a February billing statement. Your billing statement will show the closing date of that statement.
I am a Costco Executive Member. What’s the difference between my credit card reward certificate and my Executive Member annual reward?
Your credit card reward certificate reflects rewards earned on your Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi and is distributed annually by Citi after your February statement closes. As a Costco Executive Member, you will also receive an Executive Membership 2% Reward certificate, distributed by Costco via mail two months before your annual renewal month.
