Return it to Costco a few days later and give them your Costco (or another) Amex for the return. Done.

Will they take just any Amex (Citi AA Amex for example) for the refund? And if that Amex has no balance then they will just send me back a check for it after a while, right? Provided I don't use the card for any other purchase?
