That raises a question in my mind. For anyone who has purchased the cards at Costco, is there any disclaimer that these cards are not eligible for the typical 2% back to Costco Executive Members? I know that disclaimer applies to the purchase of postage stamps, but that may be some governmental/USPS regulation.

Also, for anybody in PA, I called the King of Prussia store today - they have them in stock.

I asked at the Service Desk yesterday what my spend this year has been and what my expected 2% refund is, and it is still in effect.

Also, did you ask them to check other warehouses in your area? Even in the SF Bay Area, not all of them carry them, but several do.

Of the 20 or so Costcos in Chicagoland, about 2-3 usually have them. None in TX that I have heard of. It's sort of a pilot program in various spots I have been told. Call your local store and ask for Item #576515 and if they don't carry them, they can tell you which stores within their area do, if any.

Fantastic, finally! And I'm flying to CLT tomorrow...
Edit to add - went by this morning on the way from the airport. It took a while to find the gift card display, it was towards the back near the food, not up front as at other Costcos I've been to. I didn't ask about inventory, but there were a ton of the placards on display. I bought 4, the cashier commented that someone yesterday had bought 10...
