Last weekend I applied for a new HH Am Ex card and was told at the time I applied that the application was approved. I know I don't get points until after I use the card, but I need to expedite obtaining both those application points and "use of card" points before June 1. Has any FT encountered the issue and been able to expedite? I may wait to receive the card and then contact Am Ex to see what date my billing cycle is...but that is all I can think of.

Suggestions?
