What steps should I take to receive my American Express card after approval?

Asked 5 months ago
Once an individual has received approval for an American Express card, several steps can be taken to ensure the card is received promptly. Firstly, the approval notification, which is typically sent via email or through the American Express account, will provide information regarding the expected arrival date of the card. Generally, new cards are mailed within a few business days after approval. Next, it is important to confirm that the mailing address associated with the account is correct. This can usually be done by logging into the American Express online account or through the mobile application. If there is a discrepancy, it should be updated as soon as possible to prevent any delays in receiving the card. Once the card arrives, the new cardholder must activate it. This is typically done by calling the number listed on the card or logging into the online account. Upon activation, the cardholder can start making purchases immediately. For any further questions or specific details regarding the delivery status or activation process, it is advisable to visit the current American Express website.
