ISSAQUAH, WA - How is Costco’s new trade-in program, which lets people exchange old electronics for Shop Cards usable on groceries, impacting traffic to its grocery section?

Costco’s new trade-in program is drawing both members and non-members to its doors. Participants can trade in old electronics for Costco Shop Cards, which can be used to offset grocery expenses—a creative strategy for the member-focused retailer.

According to Yahoo! Finance, participants can visit Costco’s website, where users select their device model, answer questions about its condition, and receive a trade-in value quote without having to visit a Costco location.

This innovative initiative not only offers a practical solution for reducing food expenses but also fosters community engagement, making it easier for everyone to enjoy the benefits of shopping at Costco.

For regular Costco shoppers, the trade-in program is a convenient way to promote its groceries through their savings. For those who aren't Costco members, it's a fantastic opportunity to engage with the Costco community and enjoy its benefits—potentially expanding its membership pool.

Costco has established itself as a go-to destination for high-quality, premium fresh produce at competitive prices. With its focus on bulk buying, Costco also provides members with the convenience of stocking up on everyday essentials and specialty items alike, making it a one-stop shop for both everyday needs and special occasions.

As we recently reported, Costco’s steadfast business nature means that any update to its operations is big news. The retailer also recently announced plans to roll out membership card scanners at the doors.
