Costco selling pamp gold bars

[yellowsnow]

IMO Costco could easily double the premium they are charging now and still sell out in the same time. Not sure what the reason for offering this "novelty" product at low premium. Possibly market testing to expand sales to other types bullion or investments .

like i said, to pull in new memberships. It is the first time costco gold sale made it to radio news at my locale.
never before i had heard costco news on the radio before

It’s worth noting that in Canada the price listed on the Costco Canada website is slightly higher than what’s offered to TD Bank customers for the same 24-karat item ($2,670.21.)

Wow, what a deal, flying off the costco shelves.. LOL

costco gold PAMP bar price likely don't adjust to spot price.

Can you get the 2% rebate on Mastercard and the 2% rebate if you have the executive card on gold purchases. If so maybe worth a good look.

Certainly convenient for the 2 coins per week you are allowed.

i don't have costco account. I don't eat enough to warrant bulk buy.
website says executive membership cost 120 CAD./year So if one buy 2 or more gold bar/year, the 2% rebate do pays out the membership.

I find costco is overstaffed, hence product prices can't be too cheap

I do not have one either. Just 2 of us so when I go I go with sister who has one. Just cheap I guess. But I read that they offer 2 per cent on MasterCard purchases and 2 percent on rebate if you buy the 120 membership. Up to 1000 rebate

So if I buy 20 ounces over a year I could get almost the equivalent of 4 per cent off price and shop there myself.

If the gold qualifies. I looked at the exclusions and it does not say gold


We are Canadian but probably same in US. Wondering if anyone here tried it and received the 2 plus 2 rebate

it does look like a loophole or a purposeful bait to encourage new membership.
Technically, one only need to buy one oz gold PAMP bar per year to help pay for the annual 120$ Exclusive membership (~2800 CAD x 4% = 112 CAD). It's like buying gold at spot because most 1 oz gold premium runs about 3-4% premium. However, one has to like stacking PAMP bar to exploit this costco offer
