Yep, it took about 7 days to get my Experian score from them and then 2 more to get my card.

And so far they have been incredibly quick with the statement credits as well

I synced up my AMEX to my Twitter feed and used it at Best Buy and McDonalds and already got $15 back from them and the $100 statement credit for spending more than $1000 in the first three months.

Did you request express pay right after you were approved?

I applied on Tuesday night and received the card on Monday so roughly 5 to 6 days, most likely 7
The card looks amazing btw! Best looking card I have!

From Amex I have always received cards overnight. I think that is amazing as other CCC seem to take 5-7 days to send them out. Chase on the other hand, has to hire a woodworking craftsman to carve out the numbers for my card on a blank, then there is an ex-NASA plastics person they fly in who does the pouring of the card in the mold and then finally they have to bring in a calligraphy artist to add the three digit security number on the back of the card. In other words their cards take forever to come.

I think it depends on the card. My blue cash cards have taken 5-7, but I applied for my SPG card on the weekend and received it on Monday.

Maybe if it's a card with an annual fee they overnight it?

All of mine have been and I havent heard of any reports from anyone else saying theirs was USPS. After your a member, Amex is smart enough to know that the sooner you get the card the sooner they get money.

You can call and request zync overnighted... though it would come on a Tues.
