Yes. They are just a cardboard certificate with a cert number and a scratch-off pin number. You use both to just deposit them into your AS wallet. Ot to book a trip if you don't want to deposit them.

Costco stores were told to pull the $399 cards a few days back. Some have not done so. You can call your local store and ask them if they have product 1507486.
If you're in San Diego County, the only Costco with cards in stock two hours back was the Marina location. It had 3 cards. The Costco in Chico, CA, has many.

The sign indicated that the $50 instant rebate ends today, 4/18, so I would expect the in store price to match the online price of $449 tomorrow.

I picked up 8 at the San Luis Obispo store today. The manager said there were a "few" left but not very many. The display was to the right just inside the entry door after you get your ID checked.

Just grabbed a couple at the Maui Costco about an hour ago. The display is on the final run near the registers (in the past it was at the entry).
One note - Your receipt will say $449 then $50 off on the next line. I wasn't clear if that meant the 449 was after the 50 off (which would be incorrect) but it's not. Basically, my total was 1100 and I thought I had 200 of other stuff but, of course like always, it was 300 worth of meat, booze, veggies and everything else my DW can cram in the cart!
Anyway, AMAZING deal... I'm almost thinking I should have grabbed more but already have 1K in my wallet and don't want to let AS hold onto too much of my money.
