Contact Costco Customer Service for Promotional Support
Since the e-gift card is a Costco-exclusive promotion, you must reach out directly to Costco rather than Microsoft to claim your reward.
Microsoft does not issue or manage retailer-specific promotional rewards. The Visa e-gift card is provided by Costco as a purchase incentive.
Locate your original Costco receipt or online order confirmation email containing your purchase details.
Go to the Costco Customer Service website and navigate to the Promotions or Rebates section.
Provide your order number, membership details, and proof of Microsoft Office activation to the support representative, and request a status check on your e-gift card.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Microsoft support say they cannot help with my gift card?
Microsoft only handles software activation and technical support. Promotional items like Visa e-gift cards bundled with PC purchases are managed entirely by the retailer, which in this case is Costco.
How long does it typically take to receive a Costco e-gift card?
Processing times vary depending on the specific promotion's terms and conditions, but it generally takes a few weeks after registration or after the standard return period ends. Always check the fine print on your receipt or the promotional flyer.
What if I lost my Costco receipt for the Microsoft Office purchase?
If you purchased online, you can retrieve your invoice from your Costco account purchase history. For in-store purchases, the membership desk can often look up past transactions using your Costco membership card.
