AFAICT - the certificate holder has to be there. But Costco does not care who ends up redeeming it.

Thanks for the idea, just called my local warehouse to check on this. Policy is no, but management OK'd it. They did ask for the value of the certificate and they seemed to balk a bit at first so it may be a YMMV situation both dependent on management and the certificate amount. (Although not really sure why, I wouldn't think i was an outlier this year compared to the typical cardholder who would use this for Costco/gas).

Based on the last Mastercard earnings call, this is one of the only Visa cards serviced by Citi. Any benefits added or removed (such as the extended warranty) likely comes from Costco corporate agreement with Visa and not Citi. I believe all of the revolving debt separate from the rebates is also funded by Costco. Not really unusual in a strictly card-servicing arrangement, but Citi is not known historically for this type of relationship (both the Visa part and the role it plays likened to other banks like Synchrony or Capital One).
So, your complaints should be directed to Costco on benefit changes.
