I have been an AU since 1998 and got my own Zync early May, got backdated (after I called in) and then I got my BCE in late May and it was also backdated automatically. Try again, they did it for me!
I would advise everyone to check their credit report to confirm backdating has occurred.
Just got off the Phone , spoke to a very nice Csr Supervisor. She informed me that it should have been backdated to 1998, and they would contract the credit bureas. Told me it could take up to 60 days to reflect the correct date. And an FYI since Nov 21st of last year Amex will no longer backdate any AU accounts. Because I asked her about adding my GF to this account. I want to thank everyone for their imput, great group of people on this forum.

Do you mean AU accounts can't get backdated to original cardholder's member date? Or do you mean AU accounts can't get backdated to their own member date? Or both?
As of Novemeber 2011, all Au's will have the date they are issued , AMEX clearly stated no more backdating on AU. Hope this helps.

This is YMMV, since I had my account backdated less than two months ago. Took all of five minutes on the phone.
You didnt get an Au backdated, It cannot be done,

I was the authorized user on my sister's card back in '93, backdated my account two months ago...
