The Ritz cards take 7-10 days because they have to link it to your Marriott account.  Once that's done, they'll overnight it.

And if you do not have a Marriott account it can take longer. It was about 2 weeks IIRC for mine and I do have a Marriott account.

Why do you need a Marriott account?

Because Marriott owns Ritz Carlton and the rewards programs are interchangeable

Wait so you can use Marriott points to get a room at the Ritz???

Yes.  The entire rewards program is administered thru Marriott.com so if you try to book a Ritz room with points, you'll go that site
