$50 iTunes cards at Costco, get ’em while they last

Yesterday, I was at Costco picking up items we needed. When I went by the electronics section I checked out the iTunes cards being sold, wondering why they only had the large amounts versus the smaller ones most retailers carried. Besides, they sell 100 stamps for under $39, I thought maybe there’s a chance they’d shave a buck off this. Turns out they do! Costco is selling $50 iTunes cards for $44.99.

I was a little skeptical though since these would have to be sold at a loss. It’s doubtful Costco would be selling something “stolen” or from the gray market. However, I checked with a friend at Apple involved with iTunes just be sure before I told everyone I know. Turns out everything is copacetic between Apple, the music labels and Costco so buy them while they’re around. Once they’re out, who knows if bulk retailers will restock these cards. I’m still hoping against hope they’ll bring back Home Run Inn Pizzas, Lucky Jeans and Molson Beer to mine in north Austin.
