Managing credit cards from Israel/Abroad

Yes - on phone and I tell them to rush it. And it's here with in 5 days.

I guess that's the way to do it. Silly me.
Do they ever give you trouble? Do they want to charge you for rushing it? Do they ask you why it needs to be rushed?

It's my wife's account, so SM is easier. Maybe I'll ask them to rush it via SM and see what happens.

SM'd and asked for a replacement card just to test it.
I asked for it to be rushed and they said it'll get here within 5 days.

A friend of mine who has never lived in America but is a US citizen (with a SSN) wants to start playing the cc game.

He doesn't have a US address where he can receive the cc's.
Any ideas how to go about this?
Is it possible to give the cc companies a non existent address… or can they see that? (Do address generators give fake addresses?)

he doesn't know anyone in America with an addressed that he can use?

He does, but doesn't feel comfortable sending credit cards there.

Once he's been approved he can call the cc companies and have them shipped to Israel.

That's not really an option as there's still other mail correspondence and AFAIK with Amex cards the 1st card always needs to be sent to the address on file.
Appreciate the reply though.

Good luck getting any company besides Chase to send a card to Israel.

but he is comfortable making up an address and having his cards shipped to some random location??

Yes! If that "random location" doesn't exist....
