I'm pretty sure the use of the term "Costco dividends" was a misstatement, 
and the poster was referring to a rewards program balance, rather than 
shares in the Costco corporation.

  I am not at all in disagreement with this approach, and would use it as a 
general case. I chose my particular approach to separate it from reportable 
dividend income, since it's a one-off, though now that MC has changed its 
cashback method, I'll probably need to set up something more orthodox for 
both.
