If I apply and get approved for the AMEX card, can I use Pay with Miles straight way or do I still have to post activity and wait 4 weeks?
I think you can do it as soon as your card is issued. It showed up in my profile on Delta.com within a couple of days after I applied for mine.
Before you use Pay With Miles, though, make sure you read all the rules. Your whole trip will not be eligible for earning miles (both MQM and regular).
