3-4 weeks... FWIW, 2P card it is not really needed "in hand".

Welcome to Ft, rigel!
In the past, people have received their cards somewhere between 2 weeks after achieving status and ... never. The Premier card isn't that important, as your status will appear in your reservations and on your boarding passes anyway. The higher-level cards are important, however, as they're required for lounge access.

I don't carry my elite card with me. I just carry my RCC club card and I use that to swipe at easy chicken etc. So I told him, I don't have my card but here's an old boarding pass I kept that had PREMIER EXECUTIVE on it (thankfully I was on another flight the day before) and shoved it in his face.
