Super disappointed so far with AMEX. Approved on August 8th - still no card.
I am almost concerned the card won't be here in time for my flight this Friday. If that is in fact true - AMEX will be in the "all hope is lost category". Aka to hell with them. They can't even print a card out and get it to someone in decent time.

I wonder if it has to do with the personal profile that they have set up for you. I believe that I requested an expedited card a long time ago and ever since then, I've gotten my cards within two business days. All my e-mail approvals say 2-3 business days and even my Hilton Surpass upgrade came expedited.

Patience my friend, patience.

Bottom line is that there is no straight answer from AmEx on whether or how to have the card expedited. You can certainly try to work your way through the AmEx CSRs to find one that can make it happen, though I wouldn't count on it working out.

I applied for the SPG Biz card this morning online and received "in Progress" As impatient as I am, I called within half hour. Told I was approved so i asked for the card to be expedited.
Amex is very generous. I already have 4 hard inquiries within last 6 months on my Experian report and one of them is their AMEX Hilton last month. In fact the last 3 were in June and July.
YIPEE!!!!! more cash and points redemption for me.

Has anyone who has this card used it for the twitter/facebook social media promos where amex credits you back for syncing and spending at certain locations? I'd like to know if this card qualifies for that since it's co-branded. I've only used a gold card and I intend on getting this card and wouldn't mind using both cards.

Need Business SPG...
Trying to get wife’s 5K referral bonus with personal card, but I need business card, as closed my personal AMEX SPG less than 1 year. When I open emailed link, only personal card available. Can a personal referral get a business card?
Or I closed my personal SPG 9/9/11 - opened 8/10. So the "Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have had this product within the last 12 months." would apply?
Thanks to all.....

Sounds good, people haven't really given me a straight answer if they have used it, and it's co branded, so I wasn't sure.
From reading this thread people are having difficulty with that. Look through the thread. I do believe someone called in and got some bonus but it wasn't as good?

It's 100% OK.
In fact, I have both the personal and biz SPG and have my wife as an AU.
I've gotten 4x on the FB and twitter promos ^

Yes, we called and were offered a courtesy bump up bonus of 2,500 points (both me and my wife). The rep said she could not give us the full 5K (from 25K to 30K). We also got the card about 3 weeks ago.
