New Amex Costco approved instant in store but now where is the card?!

My friend was instantly approved for $7500 over 2 weeks ago and still no card!!  I remember thinking I heard a lot about this paticular card taking so long because of the additional info and picture on back for Costco Membership but really how much longer!?

Creditaddict, did your friend recieve a temporary charging pass that you can only use in costco until the credit card comes in, on that pass there is an expiration date and the card should come in before the expiration and if not there could be a problem, it was only a week for me when I recieved my card in the mail.

He did get the store pass but I was thinking that was only good for the day... Thanks for the number, I'll pass on and see what happens becuase he applied just like 2 or 3 days after another friend of mine applied for blue preferred extra whatever it's called! and he didn't even get an approval for like 3 days but then got the card last Friday I want to say.

Did he have his pic taken at Costco after he was approved for the card?  That will definitely slow down the process.  If he didn't, he better get down there and have that done so they can issue him his card.  When I applied and was approved at the store, I had my pic taken right then and there.  My card came in a week.  Hope that helps...

My guess he was an additional user on the Costco membership and they shipped the card to the address on file.
