    4 days over the xmas period for me. Make sure you get a referral for any card you apply for!

    Do you mean how long from applying or how long from approval? However in my case for both events Amex quoted 10 days but it happened in 4 working days for each event. Applied on Tuesday, approval email received on Friday, card received on Thursday the following week.

    Albeit a number of years ago now since I received mine, but do they not send the cards in boxes anymore. Cost cutting i assume.

    No im guessing to avoid fraud its now just a plain envelope.
  • Yes, they still send cards in boxes, but I think it depends which card you apply for. My PRG and Platinum cards came in boxes. The Platinum card came in a really big box. The Green card doesn't IIRC.
