Thanks!
If anyone is wondering how it would have compared to previously: I booked a rental back in Feb for a trip next month. The prices are now about 50$ higher. Does not offset the cash card promo. This is just one data point though.

Car and hotel rates fluctuates by optimization algorithms used by all major companies. Rates change depending on demand, market competitors, and so on. I've used Costco rentals for decades and the rates can change every week. Typically you get better rates if you plan your trip many months in advance because the algorithms are set to entice you to reserve with lower demand. Once a certain reservation threshold is met, the rates increase closer to the date.

This makes sense. For sure their algorithms want to max their $$$. Interesting that Costco is offering a cash card this time around.

Could be a sign of car rental companies predicting a decline in travel due to increased costs like gas prices . I am sure Costco getting some form of payback

The reservation I made three weeks ago was a buck more compared to the one I did today so for me this deal worked out.

It's opposite. Airline tickets go up before departure. Car and hotel rates go down because of missing the inventory target. However, those rules cannot be applied for peak summer or spring break.

I booked a three-day Costco rental for the end of April, a couple of months ago. Will I qualify or does it have to have been booked more recently? Thanks!

Great timing, I literally booked yesterday before this deal. Just cancelled and rebooked with the $25 card, the booking price didn't change.

I didn't know the shop card was not offered for car rentals before. I received one when I booked the hotel and tour package through Costco, and I assumed they would regularly offer a shop card for car rentals too.

If it's the same price, you can just cancel and rebook to make you get the gift card. There's no charge for cancellation
