IME the BP and Aspire both got expedite shipping. even at the end of Dec.

I’m saying perhaps it’s specific to the end of December. Any DPs of it being expedited NOT at the end of December?

How about asking them if it was shipped via UPS or USPS?? That'll give you an idea... UPS is expedited, and USPS regular mail, can take 7-10 biz days. And if they sent via USPS, tell em you need cards for a trip and maybe after speaking with a 'supervisor' they will ship you out new cards via UPS overnight.

They already told me it’s being expedited and will arrive within 48 hours. Now i’m Just curious if it’s standard or time specific. DPs are unclear.

Lol as in why would anyone get it then?

Makes perfect sense as a company, for accounting purposes. Travel credits aren’t everything.

But some on this thread said you can’t request expedited, which seems to mean it doesn’t come automatically. Did you apply for it at the end of December?
Mid November.

Once the application is processed and approved there's nothing they can do there's no option on their end to request for expedited shipping, and I doubt supervisor can help.

If its application over the phone or pending and being verified over the phone they can request for expedited shipping.
Talking of CC that usually don't get expedited shipping.

I had my BP expedited shipping with auto approval.
Sounds like it automatically gets expedited shipping.

Lol as in there are so many DPs on this already and you're not coming up with a major breakthrough here.

.....and the DPs indicate that? Which one? I’ve seen conflicting. Also, who said anything about a major breakthrough? I needed to know, at first, and then, as I said, I was just curious.

But you won't be able to create an online login and select an airline without the physical card. Perhaps you could select the airline over the phone...

This was for a new account, so no option for the card number. Yes, they allow airline selection over the phone, and for this one, was able to create a login anyway even withou the card number. But can’t do the spend without the number..
