PSA: American Girl gift cards at Costco

[serendipity]

Our Costco had American Girl $100 gift cards at Costco for $79.99.
They also had Bitty Babies there I think it was $99 for a baby and book or something.

My costco had neither this morning! Just the mini AG dolls w/ book for $40 and the pets for $30.

Mine had the gift cards, a craft set, and the book sets. I almost grabbed the gift cards (along with a lego set and a different craft kit) but the line to check out was approximately 9 billion people long.

Thanks for the tip!! I'm planning to go to Costco on Saturday but maybe I should go earlier

Hey all, so I snagged the gift card when I was at Costco last, but I'm second guessing whether this is going to be a good present for my DD1 (4.5). She hasn't been that into dolls and I'm not sure she'll really take care of it. I might try the Target knock-off first. I'm not 100% yet, but if someone wants to buy the gift card from me, holler. I'm not sure Costco will take a gift card back... will they?

[lala]

I would at least try, they are great with that stuff. Call.

[serendipity]

They usually take everything back. If not, could you try to sell on FB yardsale site for what you paid? I'm sure someone would buy it!

Okay so I'm dying to take DD to the American Girl store for her birthday. I want to do lunch and get a doll, the whole thing. What's a good age? I was thinking 5? She's only 2 now lol

I'm starting to be persuaded that 8 (the recommended age) is right. I don't know, it's an expensive doll. I guess it depends on how much you think she'll play with it and how she'll take care if it.

Costco takes gift cards back. We once bought gift cards for the wrong restaurant and were able to return them no problem.

Yep Costco will take it back!

It's so age dependent.  You could get her a bitty baby now. DD got hers at 21 months and she was well loved for about 3 years. Now she is moving onto the bigger dolls at almost 5.  My MIL got her a look alike doll last Christmas and DD liked her but didn't play with her much until recently. Now she has fallen down the rabbit hole and is in love with it all.  She is very good at taking care of her things so I don't mind.

Ours has them. And I saw them the day after I took DD to AG to buy a doll for her birthday...
