Alternative suggestion -- print out your A3 account page showing your new status. Should work if a pretend letter would have worked and nothing that anyone could object to.
I have found Asia to be odd. For two years in a row I haven't had my card in time for Asia travel. On one hand they want a physical card. On the other hand they get very flustered when a big group comes in, I usually just wait for a big group and just walk in behind them. If asked, I just say that I have already checked in earlier, never a problem.
