haha You have my actual backdate beat for sure. I just posted that to prove a point that screenshots should not be seen as a means to prove a point.

I was approved for my second ever Amex card a little while ago, and although I'd read the "Amex not backdating anymore" thread, I decided to just ask since there was really nothing to lose (I originally called to ask for an increased CL/SL on the new card, but was told I couldn't do it because I'd gotten one on my old card within the past 6 months). Anyway, the CSR wasn't sure what that meant, but agreed to take a request to forward to the appropriate department. My first statement cut last week, and I just noticed the new card is reporting with an older date on the credit report! I'm thrilled! This is going to boost my scores quite a bit!

Curious:  what is the date on your statement and what was the exact date you applied for your 2nd Amex?

Still no answer from Amex CB Reporting unit, they said to call again Monday.... I'll keep you posted...

IF the Amex back dating is in effect again or if it gets reinstated, would it be advantageous to ask to be backdated if your previous account had less than a stellar history?

Mine was from 2000 and I had a credit meltdown in 2008 and it was a CO.  I did work out a restitution with Amex on it,  but not at full amount.  I do believe they will allow me to get a card again, but dont understand if backdating with a 'stained history' would be good. 

I understand the AAoA principle and how that would help me, but would I be linking a bad history to a new card?

Thanks.

When Amex CSR tells me the result... in the meantime the CSRs don't seem to know exactly - and claim it is the cutoff date, regardless of the answer, even if it is NO - I'd rather get it from AMEX directly.
