I just made Gold from one economy trip to New Zealand on SQ 
I guess I can expect to wait a month or so for my card to arrive...

Hello, my qualifying flight was May 17th, gold upgrade May 21st and card hasn't been delivered yet (to Europe). As I may see many people got their card event in distant part of the world, so shall I wait doing nothing or write to them or maybe try to reissiue lost card? Thanks!

Any issues with getting these mailed to a (relatively) local address in Greece, then changing address back to the US?

You could, but the gain would be minimal compared to the cost of, say, a 2-day UPS delivery from Greece to the US - as has been said in this thread, A3 batch prints the cards so the postal time isn't the largest significant factor by a long way.

I mean, more local than a US address. It'd be an address in Greece, just not near Athens

Do they regular mail it?
I'm in Singapore and it's been almost 3 months since my status was upgraded but I've yet to receive my card. Was denied entry into a lounge in Perth because they needed to swipe the card and all I had was an image of my card from the M&B mobile website.
