He said it will "guaranteed take 6 to 8 weeks." "So, I won't get the card early?" "No, it will be 2 months from the close of your first statement before you can use your $200 card."
My wife got hers less than 2 weeks after her first statement. There isn't anything on the card to indicate that she couldn't have used it the day she received it. We haven't used it yet just because we have no need for it yet, not because they said it couldn't be used for 2 months.
