Travelling ain't cheap these day. But f you have a summer trip on the horizon and want to save a few bucks, there's a Costco find worth knowing about before you book.

The retailer is currently selling discounted Air Canada e-gift cards through its website, which can be used toward flights, vacation packages, seat selection fees and other travel extras on any route the airline serves. It's not a flashy deal, but for anyone already planning to fly Air Canada, it's a straightforward way to pay less for the same travel credit.

Here's how the pricing breaks down: a $500 Air Canada e-gift card is going for $449.99, while a $1,000 card is listed at $894.99. That works out to roughly 10% in savings either way.

A few things worth knowing before you buy. The cards are delivered digitally and are non-refundable, so make sure you're committed to using them before checking out. When booking a new trip, you can use up to two gift cards as forms of payment, as long as they cover the full cost of the ticket. For changes or add-ons to an existing reservation, only one form of payment is accepted at a time.

Since the cards aren't tied to a specific destination or travel window, they're flexible enough to use whenever your plans come together. The listing is live on costco.ca now.
