I received my card the other day, 5 weeks to the day after being approved.
It has been nearly 40 days since being approved and a week since the first purchase, and no XP.
I'm going to guess that when my flights from this trip post, I'm not going to get the 5 point accelerator. It also seems likely the XP aren't going to post any time soon, which is going to mean delayed qualification for Silver and then Gold, resulting in a lot fewer miles earned on a bunch of upcoming trips.
This is a terribly underwhelming start.
