I just sent in my application for American Express Secured Optima card. I know a few other people have recently sent theirs in, I was wondering have you guys heard anything yet? And how long did it take?
i received my card a few months ago. it took about 3 weeks from start to finish. always send your deposits in the form of a postal money order. they are processed faster, thus you get your card approx. 2 weeks faster than if you send a check.
I sent mine w/ a check... I sent my deposit on 7/25. I had the card in my hands around 8/23. I have to agree that if you send cashiers check or money order that your application is pushed straight through the process.
you have to download and print the application. the address is: home1.americanexpress.com/apply/credit_splash.asp
