Apologies if this isn't the correct thread, but have a related admistrivia question. Wife just received a NLL pop offer for Platinum upgrade (from personal gold). We are interested in accepting the offer, but are literally walking out the door for an international trip on Friday afternoon. Amex tends to over night these cards and don't want a Platinum card sitting our doorstep for a week. Any experience with immediately contacting Amex and having them delay the shipping of the card by one week? Is that a possibility? We can set a "vacation hold" in our FedEx account, but doesn't seem Amex is consistent in which service they use to ship (USPS/UPS/FedEx).
Regards
P.S. No need to recommend using a neighbor to pick up; if that was an option I would not be posting this question
