How long does it typically take to receive an American Express Platinum card after applying?

Typically, once an application for an American Express Platinum card is approved, the applicant can expect to receive their new card within 7-10 business days. However, it's worth noting that this can vary based on the applicant’s location and potential delays in the postal service. In some cases, American Express does offer expedited shipping upon request at no additional charge, which can reduce the waiting time to as little as 1-3 business days. Applicants should ensure their mailing address is correct and contact American Express if they encounter any significant delays beyond the expected time frame.
