Last time they ran this deal, I was able to credit these to my Google Play account and use the credits to pay for my Google Photos/Google Drive monthly storage fee.
As I recall there was a two-card limit last time, but it turns out you could order the gift cards not only at Costco.com, but also at Google Express, boosting the maximum purchase to 4 cards per person. Just sayin'.

Mine were cancelling. I called Costco and they couldn't figure it it. I had to add my middle initial on my payment info, exactly as it shows on the card, that did the trick for me. Hope that helps.
Just be sure to switch your payment method to your Google Play balance well in advance of the charge date. For Google music subscriptions at least it used to take several days for the billing change to take effect. Maybe it's faster now than it used to be.
One other thing: don't load up if you're moving to another country before your balance runs out. They don't convert currency.
How did you get the codes? Did you call Costco customer service (holiday today)? Thanks in advance for reply.
No, I had a $25 off $250 from the Groupon/Livingsocial Costco membership deal.
I actually was referring to the fact that my order went through and I got the gift card codes. There is some doubt because the promo is not supposed to work on gift cards (according to the fine print).

Anyone else have any other solutions on getting they're order through? I still keep getting mine cancelled and I've been trying throughout the whole day. I tried the middle initial with no luck

I was able to get 2 GC, no coupon. I only wanted it for Netflix. I redeemed one & tried to use it on Netflix, not an option as a payment. Chat from Netflix told me to cancel my subscription & sign in through Google Play. So I did. No go. I then chatted with google for an hour, changed my email in Netflix to gmail but it still wasn't an option in Netflix. Under google payments, Netflix isn't listed as a subscription. Any Ideas??

How do I switch my netflix payment method to google play?
Thanks, Umm2three, for trying and for the info. I am now skeptical whether we can pay for Netflix with Google Play in the US since it is not listed as one of the 67 countries available. I pulled the info below from Netflix's website. Bummer, but I'm still fine because I'm getting Google Music Family for $15/month, so I'll use these credits up in a little over a year. Just was hoping for the "17% discount" on Netflix especially since price is going up anyway.

YouTube TV is considered a subscription and should work.

Apart from the one person before, was anyone else able to use 25 off 250 coupon with this offer?

Add to your Google play account via the link provided from Costco, then go to billing and set Google play balance for TV and music
