Costco’s Little-Known 30-Day Price Adjustment Policy Draws New Attention

Shoppers can reclaim recent price drops by presenting proof of purchase at the membership desk within a month of buying an eligible item.

Overview

  • A viral Reddit post described buying a 65-inch LG TV before Black Friday and receiving a $100 Shop Card after a drop, then another $50 when the price fell again.
  • Customers should keep their receipt or have their membership details and request the adjustment at the returns or membership counter.
  • The window is 30 days from purchase and the product must still be on offer for the difference to be refunded.
  • Costco does not match prices from other retailers and prices on Costco.com may not align with warehouse prices because online listings include shipping costs.
  • Refunds are commonly issued as Costco Shop Cards or as credits linked to the purchase, and some adjustments may be initiated proactively by the retailer.
