There had been once I didn't get the card after 3 weeks and called. They said it doesn't matter, the 90 -day spent limit is still ticking. A week later, no card. I called, they cancelled the first card and re-issued and send. The clock is still ticking though, and gave less than 2 months to get the spending limit.
Ugh, okay, I think I'll call today to find out if the card was issued at least, so I know when to expect it. Sounds like customers need to kick start the card printing process!!!!
EDIT: I got my card today, and plan to make my big qualifying spend on the 14th (2 weeks after approval). I really hope that my statement generates later in the week so this spend is on it!!!
