Still available… just bought a few at the Honolulu Costco this morning. The display is with the rest of the gift cards… at checkout it took some work for the folks to find them in the back room- not sure if that means they aren’t popular or aren’t many left…

For my edification. Anyone know how the limit of 10 is tracked? Is it real? Lifetime? Or single year / purchase?
Forget how many I've bought and don't want to end up in AS purgatory or with a wasted cert.

My guess is it’s a Costco limit, not an AS limited. You could have 11 of your friends each but you one for your birthday, and I suspect you wouldn’t have a problem getting AS to add them to your wallet.

I’ve purchased at least 22 so far … I think 6 when they were 450, 10 more when they were down to 400, 6 more at 450. Costco limits typically are per location per day from my experience on other items.

I've seen them at the entry where they seem to "feature" random items and I also once saw them on an endcap kind of between the dry food and pharmacy stuff. I've never seen them with other gift cards but have read lots of reports and that would seem to make the most sense.
