According to fairfax, they will not be carrying it at this time but pentagon has 22 in inventory and 13 at sterling. Both are a pita for me, so I'll wait and hopebfairfax or chantilly get included at some point

Noticed the above, but I just got off the phone.

I agree -- given the cost of gas right now and that driving is real time (as opposed to looking for discount codes on-line at work....) this 10% is a great deal if the location can be conveniently worked into your route.

I forgot to post that I bought a few GC's this past Friday (20th) @Hawthorne. Didn't have right CC with me but used the Penfed AMEX so I got something. Store on way home but added a few extra minutes to my Friday commute home. Worth it for the discount.

Hawthorne Costco has 130 cards as of today.

Also, of those that are not near a costco location that carries these GCs, have you tried http://www.plasticjungle.com/ ?

They have AA gift cards for sale often times at 9% off....which is not too bad of a deal, if you ask me.

I have tried plastic jungle once or twice and recently one that I purchased was later found purchased with a stolen credit card. AA made me pay the difference the day before the flight and I'm working with PJ to get my money back. Of course any GC purchases carry risk.

Good to see this thread. I have to head to the Kirkland, WA Costco in the next couple days anyways for re-stocking. I'll now keep an eye out for AA gift cards on my trip there.

When I called the Seattle store a couple days ago they said no stores in the Northwest had ever received any.

And a starbucks card i ordered from them arrived partially used. Unfortunately i only found out after buying smth with it and noticing the discrepancy in remaining balance. I'll avoid dealing with them again.

I purchased 3 ToyRUs GCs and 1 AA gift card. All arrived as promised with the appropriate balance and I had no problems using them.

My experience has been good so far....hope it stays that way

As of ~2PM today, they had over 300 in stock. Located with all the other gift cards, middle section of the store, towards the checkout area. Went back after calling and got some today ^
