AA Gift Cards - Save 10% @ Costco [only remaining supply left - phasing out]
Just got back from Costco and they had $300 AA gift cards for $269.99. From the signage it appears to have a limit of 8 cards per transaction. Hard to get a 10% guaranteed return anywhere right now, but for AA folks this is a good deal.
Edited to add: Costco location = Pentagon City, VA.
--------------------------------------------------- MODERATOR NOTE:
To be certain of availability, please call your Costco of choice and ask them to check the inventory for Item #576515.
Q: What can I use my gift cards for? Are there any restrictions?
A:
- Gift Cards are redeemable toward the initial electronic ticket purchase of air travel wholly on flights operated by American Airlines, American EagleŽ and the AmericanConnectionŽ carriers for itineraries sold and originating in the U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.
- AA Gift Cards are also available for payment of air travel on any oneworldŽ partner or AA Codeshare flight.

If these are spotted anywhere in the Seattle area, please do post. I'll be stateside for at least the next 3 weeks and would love to pick up a few of these.

Be careful with giftcard terms and conditions... The itinerary can't begin outside the US (and possibly USVI, etc. but definitely not LHR!)
