Debt Free

In a move that'll affect one of many people's favorite money saving warehouse stores, Costco is changing the money back return policy its members have previously enjoyed. Beginning today in some stores, and soon in all stores, the warehouse giant will phase out the “Bring it In and We’ll Give You a Full Refund” for the life of the product. From now on, there will be a 90-day window members must meet in order for such returns. The change currently applies only to consumer electronics products, but could gradually encompass more of the store’s merchandise. 

Costco has been lauded for having one of the most liberal return policies in all of retail (How could it have been any better?). So, unless you live in California, where it’s already too late, bring in your stuff now if you are planning on getting a cash refund. The store will still offer a free, 2 year warrantee on the affected products.
