What is stopping someone from simply using it for 5 months and returning it and then doing it again for another 5 months and so on?
Does anyone find it a moral or ethical issue to do this?
Just curious, I thought it was a major loophole that could be abused.

In my opinion taking advantage of a situation in a way that ultimately harms someone else for your own gain is definitely immoral. Its just easier for some people to justify it with a larger corporation than it is to justify it with one person. The whole "drop in the bucket" ideology.
I do however think it is a great deal on the consumer end considering other corporations charge hundreds of dollars for extended warranties. The consumer loyalty Cosco gains from these kinds of guarantees probably outweighs the fiscal contrast of extended warranties. Cosco is definitely not a charity.
