Are you a Costco member? Download their CostPal Price Tracker app to start finding price drops from your recent purchases through Costco’s price adjustment policy and get money back! It’s like having a refund assistant in your pocket!

Plus, when you use our exclusive sign-up link, you’ll get $10 in free price adjustments instead of the standard $5. 🙌

Once you register, sign up for their annual subscription at $29.99/year (just $2.99/month). Even though it’s a paid membership, our team thinks it’s TOTALLY worth it since the average CostPal member gets of $300 in refunds annually! 😱

PLUS, if you don’t make at least $29.99 in a year, they will give you another year for FREE! That means you’ll either make MORE money, or you’ll get another chance for FREE. It literally pays for itself!

Here’s how it works:

  • Add your Costco receipts to the CostPal platform. It’s fast, easy, and secure.
    • Take a picture of your paper receipt, upload a screenshot of your digital receipt, or add an online order.
    • Then, choose the location you purchased from and the date. You can also connect your Costco membership to the app to make it even easier!
    • Note that terms apply, and you must upload a minimum of 6 receipts over 12 months, or $1200 in total purchases tracked.
  • CostPal monitors your purchases for price drops.
    • Costco’s price adjustment policy says that if a warehouse purchase drops in price within 30 days of purchase, they will refund you the price difference!
  • Get a notification when a price drops.
    • You’ll have roughly 30 days to go back to your Costco and get some money back! Swing by the returns or customer service counter and show them your receipt, and then in the app, mark the price adjustment as “claimed” to keep track of your price adjustments! Easy peasy!

See what Bryn & Lina think of the app…

I’ve been using CostPal for the past few weeks, and I’m honestly impressed. After I connected my Costco membership, it scanned my recent purchases and let me know a few items had dropped in price. I ended up getting about $14 back that I never would have realized I was owed! As someone who shops at Costco a lot, I don’t usually have time to keep checking receipts for price drops, so I love that the app does all the work for me. If you’re a frequent Costco shopper, I definitely think it’s worth checking out. – Hip Sister, Bryn


What a great concept for an app! It is very easy to take a photo and upload your Costco paper receipts. They are then monitored, and you’ll get notified if there is a price change that benefits you! So convenient. I am looking forward to using it more! – Hip Sidekick, Lina

If you love shopping at Costco as much as we do, then the CostPal app is worth checking out! You’ll never have to worry about a missed sale again, and you’ll stop overpaying for items.

And really, it’s a no-brainer, especially when your first $10 in money back is FREE! 🙌
