On a recent trip to Costco, Kiersti spotted a banner advertising a deal on Proctor & Gamble (P&G) products.
Costco members who spend more than $100 on home essentials from P&G are eligible for a $25 store gift card.
The store will allow members to claim up to two gift cards for a combined $50, provided they spend at least $200.
According to Costco’s website, the purchases must be made by September 26 to count toward the gift card reward total.
Shoppers can upload receipts from multiple shopping trips, however, and have until October 30 to submit tabs for a gift card.
Members can upload receipts online to claim their rewards.
Note that P&G products worth more than $75 are excluded from the offer, so you can’t earn a gift card with one expensive toothbrush, for instance.
How to spend $100 on P&G supplies at Costco
P&G is one of the largest producers of household staples in the US, so shoppers shouldn’t have a problem spending on P&G products.
Qualifying P&G brands include Bounty, Charmin, Crest, Tide, Febreze, Old Spice, and more.
You can find the full list on Costco’s site.
Kiersti picked up a few P&G items to show how simple it is to stock up on essentials to reach the benchmark for the gift card.
She grabbed:
- Two boxes of Tide pods
- Two boxes of Bounce dryer sheets
- Two boxes of Cascade dishwasher pods
- One 11-count box of Mr Clean Magic Erasers

Her purchase came to $110.18, meaning she hit the $100 goal without buying anything she wouldn’t need.
Tips to save at Costco
A great way to save money at the warehouse chain is by buying Costco-brand products including Kirkland.
In particular, Kirkland-labeled wines are usually half-off or more.
Plus, brand-name products are often labeled Kirkland, so you’re getting a high-quality wine made by top wineries exclusively for Costco.
Costco can also help you save on medication.
When you become a member, you will get access to the prescription program, which offers an estimated 2% to 40% savings on prescriptions.
Paying $120 for an Executive Membership over the $60 tier may help you save in the long run as well.
The membership includes discounts on Costco’s wide array of special services like car parts, home or auto insurance, and home repairs.
The real kicker is 2% cash back on most purchases, including Costco Travel, up to $1,000 back.
If you spend $3,000 at Costco in a year, an achievable goal if you do most of your shopping there, the executive membership pays for itself.
Plus, the wholesaler is known for saving shoppers at least 15% on different restaurants or movie tickets when you buy gift cards at its store.
It offersfor steakhouses and other high-end restaurants, BBQ, burger joints, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, streaming subscriptions and even gift cards for the spa.
