I'm still a bit confused, like anything, if you're getting $300 in gift cards, you're still paying for that extra $300 in your total price. You'd imagine Arpi's would do the same deal minus $300 since that is the end transaction that is occuring and you'd just be cutting out the middle man.
That said, if going through costco somehow offered better service/guarantee/type policies on the unit (somehow through their awesome return/satisfaction policies) I could see why going through them would be advantageous.
