it depends on the source. If it’s the same source then you get 5% deducted. But if it’s a different source then it’s 1%. Costco online. Vs Costco in store is different.

Ive had that happen. But I’m sure if you keep doing it they will catch it. Plus it’s dis honest. I noticed. But have not intentionally taken advantage of it.
