My experience is different. While the purchase of cash card does not earn 2% cash reward, the purchases at Costco with cash cards do qualify for the 2% reward.
The eligibility of 2% reward is determined by the items purchased at Costco (e.g. tobacco, postal stamps, cash card, etc are non-qualified items), regardless of method of payments (credit card, debit card, cash, cash card all earn 2% rewards on qualified purchases). You can verify with Costco customer service on this.
