I don't see the 100oz Pamp Silver bars this week, but they do have some Platinum this week that I almost ordered
1 oz Platinum Bar PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna Veriscan (New in Assay)
Item 1848908 Price 999.99
SALES TAX for CA kept getting applied to the order. I contacted Costco about the 2000 exemption on Metals. They replied.
"You purchased non monetized bullion,
The state of California does not include Platinum in the description of non monetized precious metal bullion, the law only exempts gold and silver. I have included the definition and a link below to the California website.
"Nonmonetized bullion means gold or silver which has been smelted or refined and has a value dependent primarily upon its gold or silver content and not upon its form."
Since the State of California law does not call out platinum bullion, in the definition of non monetized bullion, it remains taxable."

I was hoping they would put those Platinum Maples back up at the lowered prices. I just received my executive reward certificate which I had to take to the store and convert to a Costco card so I could use on the website. Not sure why they don't honor the certificate directly on the site. Anyway, I am ready to order once back in stock. THKS!

I used to just get Cash at Costco with the rewards, is it true they no longer do that? If so, sounds like a cash card option is next best.

Correct, can only be used for purchases through their in-warehouse front end registers. can't even use for food court/gas. Luckily you are able to convert to their gift/shop card but must do so in person. I usually shop at the warehouse every couple of months so I would have been able to use there but my whole intention was to rack up the rewards to turn directly back into more metal. Did that for many years with eBay bucks, I sure do miss those. RGDS!
Last year was my first as an Executive member and I got cash. My check was just under $1000 - and naturally was not issued when it should have been. Went to customer service and they were going to put it on a gift card - said no thanks to that - and got cash. Hope that is the case this year as well - although I doubt I will max out as the metal deals are not quite as good...

Gutter currently $29.85, these are $28.80 after rebates. Gutter under spot. RGDS!
Well the 100oz Bars never came back up, but I did get 100 of these instead which I prefer anyway to one heavy brick of silver

Nice, I was tempted but I am holding out for a Plat Maple and/or some of those elusive 10oz hunks or RCM gutter metal. I cashed in my executive certificate for a cash card so I could use online over a month ago. It's been burning a hole in my pocket ever since. Enjoy. RGDS!

Gold Maples are back up
Costco now let its customers check if an item is in-stock at their local store before they make the trip to purchase it
I asked last week when I stopped in, and they had nothing in stock. Last week they apparently had the 10oz RCMs. Missed it. RGDS!
Pricey. THKS!
Pamps back at sub-gutter prices again. RGDS!
silver eagles are back
$700 per tube
Gold buffs are back
$2780
Thanks!
I need the 2025 SAEs (3x) for our danscos.
Didn't really want to buy a lot of extras, but....
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Yikes. RGDS!
@blitzdude - Yikes is right!
Lowered $20 on the Maple. About $60 under spot if factor in executive rewards + 2% CC points. Still Yikes. lol. THKS!
2% executive rewards point checks are in the mail.
Not too much YIKES! for me. I'm in.
Nice, I was tempted but I am holding out for a Plat Maple and/or some of those elusive 10oz hunks or RCM gutter metal. I cashed in my executive certificate for a cash card so I could use online over a month ago. It's been burning a hole in my pocket ever since. Enjoy. RGDS!
Platinum is a great metal. It's been down for too long.
I knew it would happen.
THKS!
Gold Buffs have re-appeared, higher price, but only $22 over spot for those getting the 4% rebate
I just bought some 10oz Pamp Lady Liberty bars for $31.99/oz this weekend. They also had 1oz gold Pamp bars in stock
don't buy gold bars, bid prices poor
2024 ASE rolls currently up for sale at $679.99, just .40 cents over with 4% money back.
Yup $32.63 after rewards. Added a few rolls for a quick flip. RGDS!

Yeah, it's sad. I've had to pretty much stop all buying of the Au. Wish Costco would get it in gear and get some 2025 Pt Maples listed. RGDS!
FYI, if you have an X account, there is a fellow who posts alerts when Costco lists gold/silver items (and follows up when they sell out):
https://x.com/CostcoPM
Definitely worth a follow if you are looking for Costco deals.
