Ditto.. I have a range course this weekend and they require me to have the physical card.
I got mine back in 4 weeks, but the instructor sent them to the CFO the day after we did the courses. Send your app in without the results and get the ball rolling and the 28 day waiting period starts as soon as they receive it. Fax your results in once you get your application number from the CFP

2015/04/07: Called to check if reference had called in (he left town and I wasn't sure if he had the chance to call in before leaving) and was told that everything was good and they were scanning the picture, then sending off to the CFO for approval.

If you buy them online, no need for the card. Some of the sellers only need your PAL number, others like Cabela's need the PAL number and expiry date (would be same as your birthday). But if you buy guns and ammo in person, the physical card is necessary.
