When i applied for my BCP in 2015 I logged in and my Member Since date on the website said 2012. I received my card and it said 2015. I chatted up support and they sent me a card that said 2012 - so they match. They won't report it as such to the bureaus anymore. But if you want all your physical cards to have matching dates - it can be done. It looks like from here on out I will go with 2012.
My BCE has a 2015 MSD. My Hhonours has the 1987 MSD. I've thought of asking for a new BCE card so that I could get that date on it, but really...first of all, no one really even looks at the card anymore, and second, even if they did, I'm sure they don't care about the old geezer in front of them holding out his AMEX going "look, LOOK right THERE!" 
I don't see much use other than my own satisfaction, and I can just go online and see that.

Seriously. Show me a person who is impressed by a member since date and I'll show you a unicorn.

Right! Despite all the "Welcome to the X family" [expletive deleted] here, all the MSD really means is "I have had a commercial relationship with a creditor since that date" Which has the same amount of value as "I have shopped at [favorite grocery store] since 1999"
