I may be feeling too disgruntled, but IMHO if Amex was as interested in retaining its Costco TE customers as it says it is, it would be beginning to take more concrete steps to keep us in the loop and tell us about specific plans.
If plans aren't finalized there's really no loop to be in. Not saying that's the case. They may have no plan. I'm a TE holder but the TE isn't an important card to me so I have no problem waiting to see what they will offer. If the BCE is the best offer they can make then I'll just let the card go in March 2016.

So the cards are just being transferred to Citi? I still find it hard to believe everyone would have to reapply for their Costco TE card just because of the change from Amex.
I have yet to see anything officially stating such. There is, however, plenty of speculation and assumption. All that's really known is that Citi will be issuing the cobranded card and Visa will be accepted instead of AmEx. No official word on whether TE card accounts will be automatically converted to the new Citi product or if they will have to apply for the new cobranded card. No official word on whether AmEx will automatically convert existing TE accounts into another product.
This is a process and it takes time. However, if it's taking too long for you then you certainly have to do whatever it is that works for you.
