This is not a quick solution. I applied for the card on 2-13 an got an approval letter today. No cards yet although when I called today (prior to receiving the approval notice) they said that the card would be sent in the next week.

Then you have got to charge, and wait for the miles to post.

And of course you must be a resident of USA not Nagoya, JPN which makes much of this post informative but not relavent.

Cheers!
