Yeah, i think its a new thing (or at least the last couple of years).. My brother got an amazon store card 5 years ago they sent an actual card. However when i got mine a couple months ago, it was just a peice of paper, (kinda like a car insurance card)

PS. If I don't get my "4 month GEMB CLI", I will be dumping this card too.
im right there with you on that because thats what they told me
You should get the increase after your 4th statement assuming they have no issues with your payment history with them....
I opened my account with Amazon 11/27/10. First statement was 12/17/10. My first CLI was a week before the 4th statement generated. My WalMart store card, also through GEMB, did the same thing, except the CLI was two weeks before the 4th statement generated. On both, I had requested a CLI through their websites shortly after making the 4th payments and just before the 4th statement was due to generate. Since reading about the 4 month time frames here on the board I haven't been patient enough to wait for an auto CLI 
My CLI on each was 200.00 - YMMV - based on posts i've read from others.
