The clock starts ticking on approval, but I am pretty sure that Chase gives you an unofficial grace period to allow for the fact that it takes some time to get the card to you.

My account opening date was 10/26/2013, and when I called the rep told me I had until 02/10/2014 to complete the $3K spend, so at least for me it's a 2-week cushion.
I'd give a bigger buffer around any holiday. The cards don't ship instantly even without a holiday. If you want expedited shipping you'd have to request it before the card goes out.
Not sure why the first rep told you it already shipped. My experience with CSP CS has been excellent. Be careful assuming trends based on a single data point/incident no matter what the topic. Excitement & anticipation are certainly understandable but relax and enjoy your CSP when you get it.

Thanks for the advice. Hope my first post didn't come off as smug. As I stated earlier, I'm sure it was just a one off, I think I just had a different expectation based on my experience with other companies. Given that was my first interaction, it threw me off a little.
