Complaint sub-issue: Other problem

I was approved for a Costco Citibank Visa card on XX/XX/XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX I have still not received the card. Both Citibank and Costco toll-free customer service numbers told me that the local Costco store could provide a print-out good for 15 days in the store, so that I could make charges within Costco to earn my 2 % rewards associated with this account. They said this print-out would not contain a CVV code so it couldn't be used outside the store. On XX/XX/XXXX I went to Costco located on XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Ohio and requested this print-out. The store personnel gaslighted me and said they haven't done anything like that in two years. The manager XXXX then acted like I was crazy for even suggesting this and that I was clearly mistaken and had no idea what I was talking about. Yes they were making me question my own sanity for believing this was a thing. So I called both Citibank and Costco customer service back and confirmed this shopping pass is an attribute of the card and that the store should have issued a temporary card for in-store use. In fact if you call Citibank at XXXX it's Option 2, Option 1 to learn about the temporary card.
