Is there a Costco code to items priced with .97 cents?

Meta Quest 3S is landing at a sharp warehouse markdown, with local Costco pricing around $199 to $249 and the deal appearing store specific in the app. The headset is praised as a strong entry point for VR, especially for Beat Saber, Superhot, Job Simulator, and other casual games, and the lenses and field of view are a big step up from older headsets. Costco rewards, a 90 day return policy, and a free 12 month subscription add value. The main caveats are that pricing and stock vary by location, the app may show a different online price, and the listing may actually be the 128GB model.
Costco members who want to verify warehouse stock and pricing in the Costco app because the comments say you can tap the warehouse button to see warehouse inventory/price (and examples show pricing can differ by location).
Buyers who wear glasses and want a clearer, more comfortable experience because the comments say custom lenses can be made for the Quest 3/3 Plus and that lenses make a big difference for visuals.
Shoppers who are okay with doing a bit of setup and managing subscriptions/access because the comments note some VR features require a monthly $19.99 subscription and that free games/credits depend on activation/subscription status.
People who are excited to play popular VR titles like Beat Saber, Superhot, Job Simulator, and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes because commenters specifically called out those games as a good fit for the headset.
People who want to use VR features that depend on Pr0nhub VR because the comments say it requires a monthly $19.99 subscription.
Seniors or anyone who mainly prefers "sitting games" because one commenter said the original Quest had more/better sitting AR games and that Meta dropped support and those purchased games disappeared.
Buyers who don't want to deal with Meta's firmware/OS behavior because the comments say recent Meta Quest firmwares push social features and can contribute to "Not enough memory to run this app" errors (and the OS is less open to customization/debloating).
Anyone who expects the deal to be the same everywhere because commenters say the .97 pricing may be store-only and the item number may not match on lookup, so it can be location-specific.

I'm in the app, it shows $299 online price, and it says my store name and:
In Stock Buy in Warehouse
Warehouse pricing may vary
But if you can't afford, and you can find these, $200 would be an amazing price.

If you don't like the "free" games of the month you can hold off activating Meta+ for 3 months.
Games claimed for "free" through the subscription are only accessible with an active subscription.
$30 credit for those that use a friend link prior to device setup (it's a ban-able offense on SD to post/request such links but check Reddit)
ALL SALES ARE TARGETED meaning they could offer 50% off to one account and no sale for another.
When buying games check for developer links to save a flat 15-20% when there is no active sale on the game.
You're going to want a better strap and there's 2 or 3 great options for under $100. Some have hot swap batteries.(examples kiwi, globular, boboVR)
If you have glasses or a stigmatism there are snap on prescription lenses for $20 on sites or $50 direct from Meta.
The max credit you can attain per year is $599 (anything $600+ is taxable)
The 4th gen headset is expected 2026/2027
There's free 3rd party software like OcularMigraine that improves visuals at the cost of battery life. Others like Quest Games Optimizer have a price associated along with permissions.
The games with PCVR need the Meta app for PC and many others recommend Virtual Desktop when on sale.
You do not need to link FB/IG to your account can use a normal email account.
If you mess up the $30 link you have 7 days to click a $30 link and factory reset your headset and go through initial setup to get it. Otherwise you need a good bit of personal info from the other person for support to process it. Sometimes there's a promo for $60 credit so check the app.
I'm sure there is info I forgot like there's no crossbuy and if you see it that means it gives you a Meta PC copy you need the app to play.
360 videos through the YouTube app are not true 4K and should be downloaded to view uncompressed.
Rechargeable batteries for the controllers are a must as they take 1 AA each.
Activate 2 factor authentication and set a pin for purchases to minimize accidents. There is a small return window for purchases but YMMV with support.
Those with GeForceNow can use it with the headset but the experience is not amazing yet.
Do NOT expose headset or lenses to direct or reflected sunlight (use a cover)
If you owned a Quest2 and purchase a Quest3 you may still be able to get the $30 activation credit.
Do NOT leave the headset charging for hours unsupervised or with 3rd party plugs/cables
Always read reviews as Most Recent and check online for in depth reviews.
I've accidentally punched my headset during a vr workout and thankfully it was fine but mind your surroundings.
Meta+ is not needed to use the headset (my 3 month trial ran out)
Only use a dry microfiber cloth to clean your lenses or risk removing the anti glare coating
Batman game extended through December 2026
I own a Quest 3
