I received the email from Costco today, containing the gift certificate number a a PIN. It doesnt show up in your AS wallet until you add it.

So it seems the initial problems with this round of certificates has been solved? (Taking longer than usual to send out, sending other customers' certs, etc.)

After my initial problems with paying (described a few posts up), my code arrived next day and went right into my wallet without any issues.

The TSA guy wasn't sure what to think . But, I was talking about the Costco specific Visa. It gives 2% back on Costco purchases but I effectively get 1.5% my using my Chase card anyway (1% redeemed at 1.5X for certain things that are never a problem to utilize). Large purchases like these AS certificates could make it worthwhile though, I suppose. The AS Visa has never really appealed to me since there are no bonus categories other than AS purchases.

Ergh, they yanked them again.

Hope they come back (but maybe that's it for this year).

From talking to Costco employees about things online they are always quick to point out that online is a totally separate thing than the warehouse. Fwiw, shortly after I bought one online a few weeks ago they showed up at my local warehouse (Maui). I also noticed in the most recent Costco email for online stuff that they are offering Hawaiian and Southwest certs for the same discount. I'm thinking they just cycle different carriers through so anyone looking for on from AS just wait a bit and it should come around again.

At the end of this crazy travel year, I would like to send an extra Thank You to Anteater .
Anteater graciously offered to make sure we receive our correct COS bonus , for fares purchased before change announced.
Many of us had to turn to Anteater to get our correct EQM’s.
Hope we can “catch up” someday soon in an AS lounge.🥂
Happy holidays to you and yours this holiday season. 🎄
Pat

Thanks for the generous offer.

Would other FTers who see them at their warehouse kindly post their location? They are NOT at the downtown Seattle warehouse as of this weekend (likely that AS doesn't feel a pressing need to discount them in their main hub.)
