That's sad. I sure hope they don't follow in the footsteps of their Northern Canadian neighbors and sign with Capital One. That would be tragic.

We will all still be able to buy stuff online. Not all but at least anything thats available online will be bought

Wonder when the Amex Costco Credit Card will go away.

And you can always buy Costco GC's online with any Visa/MC/AMEX (even now you can do that).

You were always able to buy stuff with other cards online.

Can anyone please explain to me the pros of using Amex, other than points, at costco.

most likely costco will not limited cc to capital one only. it will be master card or visa regardless of bank issuer CMIIW but not excepting all master card/visa is against the T&C
