Amex..... Call or wait??

I reconned an Amex Delta Skymiles app due to a very drastic score change on my Experian (from 640 to 713) Status changed from declined to "in progress". What should my next move be? Is it better to wait it out or call the backdoor number to get things moving along more quickly? Anyone had any good or bad experiences one way or another? Thanks in advance.

Re: Amex..... Call or wait??

When did it change to in progress?

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Be prepared to wait up to two weeks, not trying to scare you. Good luck

Re: Amex..... Call or wait??

thanks guys..... I will try to wait a few days before calling. I'm trying to book a flight for October and dont want to wait too long. I always fly Delta so it would be nice to have the card.
