Discover trying to keep up with Jones(Amex)

Not to be outdone by Amex. I got an email today that Discover Fedexed my new It card to me today. I'm curious how this ard looks in the flesh.

How did you get them to do that? I want my card fast tracked to me Smiley Sad I really hope when my PC goes through they don't just snail mail it to me.

All IT cards are sent via expedited mail (fedex)

Re: Discover trying to keep up with Jones(Amex)

I got one.  It feels suprisingly light--lighter than the More.  Numbers on the back are just printed on (which I assumes this means the card can't be used at any place that still uses the old-fashioned method of making a manual imprint of the embroidered numbers), and the magnetic stripe is on the bottom.

 

I'm assuming the lack of embroidered numbers is what allows them to get it out so fast.

Re: Discover trying to keep up with Jones(Amex)

I received the email yesterday. I was told by a rep that I should receive it by today. I have been waiting all day for Fedex, and they never arrived. I contacted discover and I was informed that no record of them sending the IT yesterday was reported on my account. Long story short, the rep went ahead and processed my request. I should get the card tomorrow or Monday. I think for those who have not received it should contact discover to make sure the card has been shipped. There may be a gitched in the system. :/
