I received an instant approval online and received my card in a within a week via snail mail in a nice package explaining all the perks. No idea if things changed in the last few years.

I don't think you have to be US citizen. Anyone with a SSN can apply. Plus the Platinum card is offered in many other countries.
Here's the US versions T & C:

A family member got theirs overnighted after asking the CSR in order to make a big ticket purchase (~$3,000 I think).
Mine came in a about 3 days as I wasn't in any hurry.

I was approved immediately on the phone.
Without asking or stating that I was looking to make a large purchase, my card was automatically overnighted to me.
If you are looking to apply, I would suggest you look at other threads in this forum to get a higher # of rewards points (potentially even double) for a slightly larger spend requirement
