You can probably still take it to Autozone given the original date is still on the battery.

Tell them that you did, but forgot the receipt? That usually works...does Walmart sell em? If so without receipt you can get an exchange, not refund.

always buy your optimas from costco (they'll never close down right?) and the return is pretty hassle free

Andres,

If you want the battery for $20, you need to PM me your cell and time available for tomorrow. Needs to be before 1 PM.
