Actually, sorry, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe they are correct. When I called in to verify my identity, I now recall him saying "if you were to be approved [blah blah offer details blah blah expediting blah blah]". And then he congratulated me and told me I was approved. But then I wonder, how would people who get auto-approved have a chance to request expediting? Do they require everyone to contact them before getting approved for business cards?
But regardless, if they can't stop the standard process, why can't they just UPS another card to you right now? Worst case, you'll have two cards, not a big deal for Amex.
