DM Credentials Packet
I'm sure this has been discussed before, so apologies if this is a duplicate.
I made Diamond status three weeks ago today but still have not received my credentials in the mail. My wife received her gifted GM credentials yesterday (with cards valid until 2/14,) and I don't remember it taking this long to receive my GM or PM credentials last year.
Does anyone know how long it typically takes to receive the DM packet, and is there anyone I can speak to in case there was a mistake in mailing it out?
Thanks!

You only need your card when travelling internationally. In particular outstations often don't have a clue about your status. AMS got better, they now just ask for the color of your card, CDG was a hit&miss but with the new big lounge it just got so much easier.

I would agree you typically don't need your elite status card, but AS requires a DM or SC card for entrance into their boardrooms. I've already had to argue my way in once (the gate agent had to verify with DL that I was actually a DM,) so the actual card would be nice to have sooner than later. It's a necessity for lots of LAX-SEA runs.

I earned DM on a Thanksgiving flight. My packet came on 12/14.
I tried to print an interim card on-line, but the website would not allow it. It displayed a message that said a request for a new card had already been submitted.

I hit DM for the first time mid November. I gifted my wife GM. She received her credentials after 3 weeks and I received mine 2 weeks after hers. Too bad the vouchers they sent each of us expire 12/31/12.

Most of the time expired drink vouchers will be accepted by FAs.
