Starting tomorrow, your AmEx/Costoco card will stop working PERIOD. Don’t get confused and think you can still use your AmEx/Costco card at other places outside of Costco. 

Your card will stop working completely. According to the AmEx website, you can’t even access your web account starting tomorrow (June 20, 2016).

Keep using AmEx until 19th – Start Using Citi at 20th

Keep using your American Express Costco card through June 19th (Sunday)
Start using your new Citi card on Monday, June 20th. 

Your Costco rewards will be carried over to your Citi card automatically

If you received your new Citi card, activate/check-in your card. You can do so by calling or getting online. It took me about 5 minutes (or less) to check-in online.

I don’t know about you, but I have absolutely no reason to use an American Express card anymore. I’ve always thought American Express was hoity-toity. Costco was the only reason I opened the account.

Takeya Thermoflask Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle 40 oz (Twin Pack)

You pay less at Costco for 2 bottles, compared to a single bottle from Amazon.

If you are lucky enough to find these Takeya Thermoflasks at your local Costco, just so you know, this is a really good price. This twin pack was $34.99. Usually, a single canister goes for $35. These high-quality canisters keep cold drinks cold for 24 hours, and hot drinks hot for 12. I haven’t used it yet, but I believe this is a good buy.

This is why I shop at Costco frequently. I never know what I’m going to find. 

Amazon is selling the identical bottle for $32.18 (plus shipping). 
So, you pay less at Costco for 2 bottles, compared to a single bottle from Amazon.

If you are an American Express TrueEarnings member, a replacement card (Citi Visa) will be delivered to you by June 20, 2016. We can start using the card on June 20, 2016.

There is nothing we need to do. All process will be taken care of for us.

Most of all, keep using your current American Express TrueEarnings card. The reward dollars will be transferred to your new card automatically.

Sorry about my late upload. 

My turkey came out very good.

Turkey was from Costco. And everything else you see on the plate was from Costco as well. Half of the bird is vacuumed and frozen.

* This purchase pays for your Costco membership.

I bought a Christmas gift for myself at the Costco website.

Vizio SB4051-C0 40″ 5.1 Bluetooth Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer.

Vizio Soun Bar Costco Saving

This Vizio Sound Bar is on Costco’s Pre-Thanksgiving flyer. It was $199.99 after an $80.00 discount.

This Vizio Sound Bar sits behind my TV that I can barely see it there. The subwoofer is hidden on the floor behind the TV. My TV remote controls the volume of the Sound Bar. Music channels sound amazing with this. And this is loud.

As a TV lover, this soundbar dramatically improves my lifestyle. I am really enjoying this.

FYI: I still haven’t installed the satellite speakers.

Costco’s Vizio Sound Bar circled. Sitting behind the TV.

I came a long way. When I first started my blog, I had a 9 inch TV in my living room.

Oh boy, I am excited about the turkey I’m going to bake in a few days. I took a short-cut on side dishes – I bought them all pre-made. I am not done shopping yet. I still need some snacks, a pie, and drinks.

The turkey is 20 lb.
