I got mine today, finally. It was postmarked on April 5th, the same day as the CO Select offer. I guess the pony express can only travel about 40 miles a day since it is about 213 miles from Houston to Corpus Christi. It is also takes approx. 4 hours by car since you have to slow down through all the small towns, 27 minutes to Houston Hobby via WN (735), and 35 minutes via COEX - ERJ to IAH. I think next year I will walk and pick it up. I will get it faster. I just wanted to have my card for next week when I connect in CDG. Last time I left my card at home I had a heck of a time convincing the AF lounge crews to let me in. According to them arriving in Paris on a BF ticket does not allow you to enter the lounge. They would also not take the boarding pass as proof of Elite status. I had to chase down the ever elusive concierge to get a temp pass for the day.
