I'd imagine that Costco only gave (gives) money to AA at the time these cards sold (sell). Same with the other gift cards. In fact, probably the same with many things Costco sells.

Well, that's where I bought mine and 2 diff. people told me quite clearly that they are marked for discontinuation in the computer (with no date for coming back), and that AA gift cards had been coming in from other stores in the area, like
ORD-TGU's local.
In any case, I wouldn't depend 100% on what some random Costco front-end person says about stuff like this.
