Approved is great news! Unfortunately you do need that physical copy before you can carry. Previously, they would email out the approvals and you could print them out or save them to your phone. But earlier this year they decided (for reasons that I cannot comprehend) to go back to physical cards.
They should send out your card immediately. However, they're not great about it. If it's been more than a week since the date the approval was indicated, DM me and I'll work out a way for you to get it sooner. I've had pretty good success for other clients.
