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'.

I only have $14.10 left in account so $14.99 bill failed to go through on 11/21. So I need to refill my account soon. I completed my order 25 minutes ago. I received purchase confirmation immediately after order but am still waiting for code.
How long does it take to receive the code after purchase is completed?
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.
That's crazy. I didn't even check if the US was one of the 67 countries. I mean why not, Netflix??
For all those who got their orders declined. I emailed customer service and got an answer that if too many were being ordered at the time I would decline automatically since I had confirmed all membership and billing info each time to be correct. Then they added that if an order was declined all immediate attempts would also automatically be declined. Told we normally it takes 24-48 hours to reset to allow order again. I asked for them to manually reorder and they asked for my CVV and said they would.

So TLDR; email them to ask them to manually order
Thanks. Very helpful, but ridiculous of costco.

Update:
Just received code so allow about 30 minutes.
Yes. Had to let my current sub run out. Then using the Android app, it was a renewal billing option.

I pay for it every month through Google play.
You are spreading false information unless you can provide proof. You cannot pay for Netflix with Google Play gift cards. However you can pay for HBO.
iTunes works for paying for Netflix.
