\nIt’s the holiday season and that means shopping and deal-finding is at a premium. A trip to warehouse stores Costco or Sam’s Club will likely net you some tidy deals on anything from eggs and Hot Pockets to a Jacuzzi or even a casket. Even carmakers are getting in on the dealmaking, as a recent promotion with Mitsubishi and Sam’s can attest<\/a><\/span>. Not to be outdone, Costco is also getting in on the act.<\/p>\n

The warehouse store and Sweden’s Volvo are collaborating on a promotion for the XC60, XC70 and XC90 that includes discounts and a $500 Costco card which comes six-to-eight weeks after purchase. Customers who purchase an XC60<\/a> from Costco also get Volvo employee pricing. Buyers of the XC70<\/a> and XC90<\/a> will receive an additional $500 off. The deals being offered through Costco are in addition to any dealer incentive programs that are currently available.<\/p>\n

We find it rather amusing that the promotion is only for Volvo crossovers – and yet it makes complete sense at the same time. Shopping at Costco practically necessitates driving a large vehicle while a quick glance at any warehouse store parking lot reveals a sea of trucks, SUVs and minivans. At least Volvo appears to be properly targeting Costco’s customer base.<\/p>\n
