Once you apply for a BA AMEX or BA AMEX PP how long does it take to get posted to you?

When I did it recently it took about two weeks to receive the card after applying.

Call them and ask. I know they can be delivered to their office and you can pick it up from there.

Gold Card
I applied for and used the gold card several months ago and closed my account when I'd had all the MRs. As I'm now getting bombarded with sales bumf telling me to apply again, will I get the joining bonus again as my previous card's closed (and according to the Amex website I don't seem to have a MR account) or will I be wasting my time and money?
I thought I'd ask here in case anyone knew before phoning Amex up and and seeing what they have to say...
Thanks,
Shakers

I paid my Amex online on the 2nd Nov (£4.5k), but it shows as crediting twice (ie £9k), so my balance shows as -£4.5k, and available credit as £4.5 over my regular limit. My bank shows as only debiting once. Is this something anyone has seen before ? (otherwise I'll call Amex)

The same voucher is on http://www.selfridges.com/en/StaticP...masComesEarly/ but I note there is a different bar code.
Also, neither one says that you have to spend on BA Amex.
20% does sound good though, I expect it will be packed.

Has anyone else received a leaflet in the post from Amex about the change to Avios with new T&C for the BA PP card?!
It says you now need £15,000 to get the free companion voucher, and you now only 1.25 Avios per £1 you spend.
Only had the card for 3 months now, and if the changes come into effect in my first year I'll probably won't be able to reach a £15k target
I am not pleased!!!
Despite this there is no mention of these changes on the amex website!
Sorry if this has been posted before, just need to vent!!

Are you sure it refers to the Premium Plus card and not the Premium card (which is no longer available)?
I can't remember the earning rates for the Premium card, but £15,000 pa and 1.25 per £1 sit exactly between the Premium Plus rates and the standard card rates (£20,000 pa and 1 per £1).

I received my Amex invite to the Edinburgh Harvey nichols Xmas party today. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately from my husbands perspective) the party was yesterday!
