    Applied Saturday (8/5). Approved today (8/10). Now let's see how long it takes for the card to get here . . .

    Card arrived on 8/17. So application to card in hand - 12 days.

    When you log into your account, you should see status like "processing" or "active" if I recall. "active" means your HQL is approved but you still need to wait for the card. It should be in the mail about 1+ week from seeing that "active" in my experience.
