I'm surprised ~ usually AMEX gets cards out within a week.   Was there any kind of a delay with your application, were you instantly approved ?

Re: How long until i get my Amex :(

I got the 7 to 10 day message so i called. The Rep verfied my info and bank info on a confrence call. She told me right away that i was approved. I also checked my app status early this week just to be sure the didnt have a change of heart.

Re: How long until i get my Amex :(

You should probably call and verify the address it was sent to and if it was indeed sent out already. I don't think there shold be any delay in mail right now. Based on the other thread about how long it takes AmEx cards to arrive after approval, it's been consistently 7 days.

I'd call and tell them you haven't received the card and ask them to re-send it. You should also confirm the address they sent it to, to be sure it's right. They *might* overnight it to you. If they sent it and you haven't rec'd it, it might be a good idea to have them report it as lost, just to protect yourself. Then they can send you a card w/ a new acct number.

I wouldn't expect it to take any longer than 3 days in transit through the mail.

 

Usually when stuff gets mailed out from the West I receive it within 1-2 days. East about 2-3 days.

 

The 7 to 10 days is just so AmEx can make your card and whatnot.
