Thanks for leaving some for us. I was the guy who bought 5 about 2-3 hours ago. They seem to be going fast. Would have bought more, but I already have a few from previous purchases.

I am at Oak Brook now. Just bought eight 3 minutes ago. They told me there were 90.

200+ 2 days ago.

I also went to the Cost Plus a couple blocks away and bought 3 $20+ purchases so I could get 3 coupons for 15% off WN RTs!

Multitasking.

Just bought 10 from clybourn store. Maybe 100 left. Had gone to south Ashland store earlier today and someone had come in this morning and completely wiped them out.

Did they give you them in the sleeves that they used to come in? They just gave me the cards themselves.

They handed me the cards loose and then a matching number of sleeves.

Now I wish I'd bought more.

For the vultures, Burbank had 62 at 15:00 on 8 July. Staff said nothing about them being discontinued, and they were neatly inserted in the usual sleeves. Irvine was said to have 70 a couple of hours before that. Go get 'em!

Remember Costco p/n is 576515 if you need to inquire. If your Costco is too important to talk to customers on the phone(), push the button for one of the friendly departments like Optical, apologize and ask to be transfered to Membership for an item check.

and they were given to me with the paper slip on, however, as opposed to previous occasions, I had to wait about 10+ minutes or so for the asst manager to hand them to me.

I've bought several and have never had a sleeve or otherwise given to me - just the cards. I had no idea there was any coverings for these things .....

Inside of the holder on the left and outside on the right. About 3.75"x5" folded.

A highly valuable collectible in a few years, no doubt.

Is that why they hate to give them to me? Last time I asked for them and the guy gives me two for my ten new GCs. I stared at him and he finally asked how many I wanted. Ten.Ten cards, ten gift envelopes. The next time I just took my 20 cards and left.

Our cards all came in envelopes. We've bought about 80 cards overall (50 this past weekend) and all came with envelopes. Not that it matters.

Cheers.
