Costco Executive member cashback is 2-4%, depending on what you buy makes this sweeter.
Frankly, I would rather buy large ticket items and high-end electronics from Costco rather than Amazon.

Costco's AirPods Pro 3 bundle stands out for pairing the earbuds with two years of AppleCare plus at a price that beats or nearly matches other retailers once the coverage is counted. The package is also attractive for Costco Executive members, since cashback can soften the total, and Costco price adjustments or returns have worked when the original receipt is available. The main questions are fit and battery life, especially for anyone relying on a reverse ear fit or comparing the deeper new design to AirPods Pro 2. A practical option if the bundled protection matters more than chasing the lowest sticker price.

  • AppleCare cancellation may require returning to Costco for a refund and then buying without AppleCare elsewhere.

  • Fit and ear-canal comfort may be uncertain because the new AirPods Pro 3 design can sit deeper in the ear canal.

  • Battery life can be a concern based on mixed reports, which may affect long-term satisfaction.

  • A workaround for one-ear hearing issues on AirPods Pro 2 may not carry over to the Pro 3 design.

Are you sure about that? My brother bought a recliner at a lower price and then turned around a returned it using his receipt from 2 months prior. It was $100 off. He didn't take the new recliner out of the store.

Is there anyway to cancel the AppleCare and get a refund for that to save more money?

I have the pro 2s. I can't hear out of my right ear so I can only use air pods in my left ear. With the pro 2 design I can use the right air pod in my left ear I just have it pointing up

Does anybody know if the new pro design would allow this also?
Ha! I do this with APP2 when I shave, so tips point upward Smilie

Not true. I purchased one AirPods Pro 3 (APP3) for $250 from Costco that was past the 30 days price adjustment when it decreased to $230. I bought a new APP3 in store then immediately returned it using the $250 receipt.
I've done this a few times and confirm it works. As long as you provide the receipt for the item when it was purchased at a higher price, you are good to go. All your receipts should be available to you online through your Costco account when logged in.

I was bummed I missed this deal when it was available weeks ago and ended on the 14th. Surprised to see it back and available so soon. They're really trying to offload these, huh? I'm still very happy with my APP2 and curious about pulling the trigger on these but I've heard mixed things about the battery life.

Also, I noticed it says "Warehouse pricing may vary" - these are still the same price in warehouse though, right?

Hard to say because the new design fits deeper into the ear canal. I think the only reliable way for you to be sure is to buy them, try them, and if they don't allow for the reverse fit you described, then you have the option of a hassle free return to Costco.

That's interesting! I know there's a 30 day grace period for price changes - I think what we're running into is inconsistencies in policy enforcement. This isn't how my store handles returns.

My neighbor tried that by calling Apple to cancel AppleCare. He was told that his only option was to return them to Costco for a refund, and buy them without AppleCare from another retailer or from Apple. Personally, I think AppleCare at Costco's packaged price is worth having. If I had it for my original AirPods Pro first generation, I would have received new replacements free when they failed. Instead, I was SOL. Now, I wouldn't buy them without AppleCare.

It does work. Ignore what Brian said - you will not be refunded for most recent purchase UNLESS you have the receipt from the initial purchase.

What happens after 2 years of Apple Care, it's just ends? Or can you extend it? I have the lightning case AirPod Pro 2s for almost 5 years (3rd set) and I pay apple care monthly on them, never done the 2-year term.
