Amex credit card delivery

Hello all, I had a phone call from amex customer services on Thursday 27/Sep, informing me that my application for Platinum credit card has been successful. I received my PIN on Monday 01/October. I haven't received the card yet, I called amex customer services and they told me that their card will be delivered by royal mail rather than courier. Does anyone know if this is true? Many thanks

  • Thanks for the reply. With the postal strike, no prospect of getting the card any time soon then:rolleyes:

    As per Murphy's comment definitely normal Royal Mail in a nondescript envelope (something like you would shred without opening).

    They may of course send by an alternative method due to the dispute as a lot of companies are!!

    Apparently Amex use courier for some 'high-risk' postcodes (particularly London), but Royal Mail everywhere else.

    (Was told this when I applied for a Corporate Amex recently, I presume it's the same for all their cards).
