Online billing statement received May 20th??
Haven't even received card in mail and I’m getting a billing statement less than 2 weeks after opening account? (Just annual fee)
Called AMEX Will give card a couple more days to arrive due to CDN long weekend. Strange timing.
Hope the $1500 spend is really within 90 days of opening and not 3 billing statements since statement 1 has already happened and was planning to use this card on July/August trip. Could probably change a reservation to prepaid to be sure $$ hit card in time.

will amex automatically replace my spg card with the new bonvoy card?
i know that the old and new cards are functionally the same.
i applied for the new bonvoy card earlier this year. i received the old look spg card.
my wife applied shortly after i did and got the new look bonvoy card.
i thought for sure that i would automatically get the new card but i still haven't.
has anyone here received the new card without asking? if so, how long ago was it?

I'm thinking that the easiest way to get the new look card is to say you lost your SPG card. You'll be without a card for a few days and have to reset all your pre-approved payments, but you'll have the shiny new card!
On another note, I still haven't received my Bonvoy points from my May 18th statement. I called in to Amex and they said that there is something wrong with the interface with Marriott. Is anyone else having this problem?

Damage could mean that the chip is defective but the magnetic strip still works or vise versa. On the lower left side, on the front of the card you should see a two digit number. If it is 01 then it is your first card issued. When you request a replacement card the new card will be 02. Once the new card is activated the 01 issue is deactivated.
I have had the same bank card for over 37 years but now on card number 23.

I have received a replacement card before (not SPG/Bonvoy) and inadvertently cut it up instead of the old one, requested another card and it arrived in the usual processing time. Same account & Pin, one digit higher on the card count.

Yes I was noticing the delay as well but appears to have just posted over the weekend (June 9th).
