Got approved for the BCE over a week ago. It was an instant approval; even the status said 'Approved'
But got an email today saying 'Your card application has been approved'
Is that strange?
I was approved last Sunday via instant, got an email yesterday, and a cardless letter in the mail today saying approved. Go figure. Just get me the card already..
i got the same thing. i suspect since its a credit card, with different finance tiers it may go to some manual intervention....
your card should come in a week.

your card should come in a week.
Even though when i appplied it was instant and it said i should receive the card 7-10 business days?
So with this email, now it's another 7-10?
I know im being impatient but im so excited since this is my first AMEX revolver in over 7 years
CS800 may i ask what your EX score was and how many INQ's you had when u app'd?

It's just all the different little automated systems sending you warm fuzzies.
Chill. and congrats
They did the same thing to me ealier this month. Talked to the rep and said approved, then a couple days later got am email saying approved, and then a week later got a letter saying approved and gave the negative reasons why I got the interest rate I did, which it didn't even say. Good news is that I got approved for the card and still got my FICO score. 714 I believe it was, card is a BCP. It's odd because according to another source my true FICO was 734. Oh well, got the card I wanted so I could really care less.
Thats what happened to me, my card came around 7 days after the email but my app / email was over the holiday
If you call in after the approval to check what your CL is...the automated voice will tell you the card will arrive by .............................
I apped on 11/23, check my application status a couple of days later and it said "approved".........but didn't get the approval email til 11/28.
When I called the # listed on the approved page, it stated my card will arrive by Dec. 12. For OP who was approved by Amex...do that and forget the little things in between.
But I can understand the excitement of getting the card....as an adult, that's like early Xmas present...well, at least for me anyway.
