Grrr! Got the 14 day wait and see msg for the Business card. I'm a freelance writer but have a steady income from my real job.
Fingers crossed it'll go thru. Actually have big expenses coming up related to the side job, so would make the spend threshold easily.

From several posts in this thread, it appears that people who are getting instant approval for this card often are receiving it via UPS on the next business day. Is UPS the only delivery method, or are there are there other delivery options to select? The reason for my question is that I am travelling Tues am - Thurs pm and don't want the card left outside my front door while I am out of town, and I don't want to have the card returned to the sender if UPS tries to deliver it a few times when I'm not home. When I order merchandise on-line, I usually get a tracking number for UPS and can manage the delivery online, but I wasn't sure if this would be an option with the SPG card.
Thanks for any feedback!

Has anybody been approved for the SPG business card? It's difficult to tell who's been approved for which card. I've received the infamous 14-day notice. If approved, was it instant approval or approved at a later time?

Wife and I also got wait-listed for the business card. We both already had the personal.

Care to share the facts?
Do you have an alternative explanation why no has been approved for the Biz Card but almost everyone has been approved for the Personal Cards?
They have done it before and they might call to verify that you actually have a business even on the side.

AFAIK no one on any forum has a positive confirmation of instant approval for Biz card. Everyone seems to be waiting for 14 days period.
