SPG - Not done yet, says have to call.

Why does each card have a different process? Is it normal to have to make an online and paper request for Gold MR card? Is the SPG one simple over the phone?

Thanks

PS - feel free to merge into thread/move to Amex although not strictly an MR query.
Could certainly be more streamlined, I agree. I've only ever got a supplementary card during the main application process. I was told once when on the phone regarding my AMEX Gold card though that if I added a further supplementary card I would get 1000 MR points for doing so - anyone else heard about this?

(I think this thread belongs in the AMEX forum as you allude to - in fact I think we can build up a strong UK presence on the AMEX forum if we start posting pure AMEX threads there as opposed in the BAEC forum...)
