Chip/Sig on AMEX PRG?

Not that I really need a chip any time soon, I just think it looks cool (my mom's ED has one)

 

I was wondering if I were to request a new card with the EMV:

  • Would the card number stay the same?
  • How fast would I get it?

Thanks in advance!

 

Edited to add:

 

It came today. Looks pretty sexy.

  • Would the card number stay the same? Yes, the 4digit code may change but mine did not
  • How fast would I get it? About  5-7 working days

Thanks in advance!

I asked one for my Amex SPG and they said no, first they said the SPG didnt have that option, then the next two told me I had to have the card for at least 6 months. Good luck

The PRG has had the chip since last year. It was my understanding that they are rolling them out to all cards on a staggered release.

I just received my Delta Gold SkyMiles card in February and should have my EMV card tomorrow (less than 3 months).

Re: Chip/Sig on AMEX PRG?

Well I called and they were able to process it. The girl was saying I should get it by Wednesday or Thursday. Let's see what happens...

Re: Chip/Sig on AMEX PRG?

I had to wait until 10 days after my PRG was initially activated to call in for an EMV replacement, but other than that, there were no problems with switching over. None of the numbers on the card changed, and I received it in the mail about 5 days later.

The SPG is not eligible for the EMV currently.

Re: Chip/Sig on AMEX PRG?

I figured that was the case, but Ive already seen two different people with the Chip on their SPG going back a couple months, so I know that its already possible.

Re: Chip/Sig on AMEX PRG?

If you search it  online there are a few people with it and also a couple of photos of it online, I know that doesnt mean much seeing how its just the internet, but Ive also seen two of them in person. Ill just have to wait it out I guess... or should I try and call again?
