Thanks for keeping your word... It looks like it has been backdated-

BUT...the reporting date is May 19, which is prior to the stated March 21 cut-off.  Correct?

So this really doesn't show anything different than what everyone already knew.  Or am I missing something?

May is after March

Somehow in my head I was thinking of those as the same month, even though I clearly wrote May and March...good grief.  Gettin' old sucks!

I still need to see more . , like date of approval and first reporting. All that shows is a card that's being reported now.

The reality is that nothing posted will be enough, so basically there is no way of knowing.   Just have to decide which is more probable:

1) OP is being misleading for whatever reason

2) Internal controls at Amex weren't in place enough to prevent someone being able to do a backdate against policy.

Not sure why most here seem to think 2) is so unlikely given the general opinion of CSRs!

But certainly if you don't want to risk a non-backdated Amex, don't apply, because even if this case is true, it doesn't seem to general policy.

My PRG just hit my reports today and it reports as 4/03/2015. So no backdate for me!

Also, don't forget that it is not hard to modify html of websites Screenshots are useless. Clearly I have you all beaten, even Amex's founder, in terms of backdating .

speedster, may I ask have you changed the due date of your new account? And what date is your statement closing date?

[thelethargicage]

Anyone notice the difference? Hint: look under "payment history"

[heyarrnold]

That still doesn't prove the validity. My payment history wants to say hello
