I was in Issaquah this evening and none were to be found, unfortunately.

North-east Phoenix Availability
North Scottsdale has the display out and a stack of the actual voucher envelopes at the customer service counter. None left at the Paradise Valley location.

Elite dollars isn’t a thing on AS. I can’t imagine why an airline would sell you a gift card and punish you for giving them money in exchange at a mutually agreed price. “Hey, thanks for buying something that is literally a cash equivalent, let’s punish you by not giving you EQM”.
(FWIW AS does save some money by not paying processor fees and there may be some breakage from gift cards.)

Dang- I should have asked if I bought a card, could I keep the cardboard? Would be fun for my "collection"

Bought mine online Sunday, code came today, deposited to My Wallet, $500 no expiration. Thinking of picking up a couple more.
