The $120 gift card is the manufacture rebate. The Bridgestone website says “Eligible tires for the $120 reward: All Alenza™ products.”:

GET UP TO $150 BACK BY MAIL ON A BRIDGESTONE VISA® PREPAID CARD

You can also see the said rebate at Tire Rack website under Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra 225/65R17 102H.

As I said earlier, you won’t be able to find Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra at Discount Tire / America’s Tire website as it’s too new. You need to call or stop by a DT / AT store directly and ask them to order a set of Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra 225/65R17 102H. They’ll order it and usually it takes a day. Don’t forget the price match with them.

To reiterate what you said,
I will go and ask American tires to order alenza and price match it with Costco. I don't have to ask about manufacturer rebate with American tires right ? After installation, I submit to bridge stone tires for this mail in rebate.

That means, I am getting 4 tires at 570$ prices ( Costco price ) - $120 = $450.
Installation charges extra .

Yes, you submit the rebate at Bridgestone website online with America’s Tire receipt. AT should have Bridgestone’s manufacture rebate form for you so that you can follow the instruction to get $120 rebate. Make sure to ask about the rebate at AT.

I usually ask the tire price from DT without mentioning price from others. If their price is higher than what I’ve collected, then I ask for price match. I usually don’t ask for price match on installation charge where Costco is $19.99 but DT / AT usually is $22. You can always give it a try.

I saw $157.99 at Costco on Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra 225/65R17 102H though. Make sure to get the exact Alenza AS Ultra as Alenza has several different varieties.

Costco’s $150 rebate is their own rebate which is different from $120 Bridgestone’s manufacture rebate where the Tire Rack and America’s Tire use. I don’t believe you can apply both rebates for one purchase but you can ask Costco about it. You may have hard time to have AT to match that $30 difference on rebate but you can always give it a try.

If I can't get both rebate, then isn't it better to do it at Costco and with lower cost ? Anyways let me ask them tomorrow

After further review, Costco’s deal isn’t a rebate, but $70 + $80 instant savings. This’s an easier discount and a better deal than others using $120 manufacture rebate.

Even though I have Costco membership, I’ve always been using my local Discount Tire Store for my tire service. DT has better Hunter tire installation and balancing machines、better service with nation-wide service network (try to make appointment for flat repair or tire rotation with Costco and see how long does it take. I can always walk-in to my DT without an appointment)、and the best part is DT will give you credit toward next tire purchase on the tread at 4/32” ~ 3/32” based on tire mileage warranty which saved me plenty of money for many new tire purchases.

If I were you I’d call Bridgestone directly and find out if Costco is “participating U.S. stores only” for this $120 manufacture pre-paid card rebate on Alenza tires. And ask Costco if the Bridgestone Alenza tire purchase there can also be eligible for $120 manufacture rebate.

And it won’t hurt to ask America’s Tire if they can match $568.92 final price after $120 rebate if Costco’s purchase isn’t eligible to $120 manufacture rebate.

Keep us posted.

Good news .. your help worked for Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra 225/65R17 102H... ( I typed LX -25 before corrected it now )
American tyre matched Costco price $600 including tax
Then I also got Bridgestone rebate $120.
So total 600-120 = $480
Seems a good deal
Thank you guys

Wait, I believe you actually got Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra 225/65R17 102H, not Continental LX-25?

So you not only got $150 off matching Costco’s price at America’s Tire, but also is getting $120 manufacture pre-paid Visa card? That’s too good to be true!

I’d imagine if you buy Bridgestone tires from Costco with $150 off, you won’t be able to get $120 manufacture pre-paid Visa card.

You really saved big money and got a set of excellent tires! Please report us how the Alenza AS Ultra performs.

Yes..it is Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra 225/65R17 102H. I corrected above message.
Yea, money saving is good.
So far tyre is good but it's only few days of drive of 600 miles. Will report back after months

I usually do research on tirerack.com. Find the tires (tyres) I want, then go to Discount Tire (or WheelWorks) and ask them to match the internet pricing.
Quite often they did.
