I'm sure this is a dumb question, but you can use these for anything, right? Not just the switch?

Yes, you can use these in devices besides the Nintendo Switch.

I think these comes non-retail packaging.
I would avoid buying console / SD bundles from costco.

Yes pretty much anything with micro SD slot. They just have Switch branding on the card itself (Yellow with Mario Star).

I seen these in our local Costco they were in officially licensed packaging. They had the 128gb and 256gb, so his results may be varried.

Just get this. It works great for me, and it's much cheaper. I would expect the chance of corruption about the same with any brand, even if it happens, if you use it on a switch, the SD card only contain game data, so you won't lose your save or anything, simply replace it, but like I said, I took the chance and bought it since it's cheap and I never had any problem, and I've had other type of silicone power sd card before and never had any problem. Only time I had problem is with ADATA brand memory products like USB and CF cards. and a Seagate 3TB HDD like 15 years ago.

Like a year or so for the SP micro sd. For the regular size one on SP brand I've had for 3 years

Beyond that. Costco is perhaps the last place you have to worry about packaging for purpose of returns, not that any normal person would at any place.
