I've gotten seemingly random "Pre-Selected" offers only for the GREEN card (not at all interested in that one)

My reason for wanting the Delta Skymiles card is that I'm going to be doing a bit of travel this spring/summer so the 35k miles + $100 statement credit are going to be VERY helpful ($100 off a flight to Nashville and then a free flight to Denver).

Congrats and welcome to the AMEX family!! 

 

I think I would try to backdate it. 1998 would be a huge benefit for you.  

 

 

good luck 

My Cards:
AMEX Platinum
Chase Sapphire Preferred
Chase Freedom
BofA BankAmericard Rewards

Don't have the card yet (of course) but I logged into my Amex account online and was stunned to see "Thank you for being a cardmember since 2000"!!!

I guess that means I'm backdated!  w00t!!!

 

Instant jump to the AAoA :smileyvery-happy:

YAYYYYYYYYYYY^^^^^ THATS A AN AWESOME SURPRISE!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!! 

Im a 18 yr old in high school with no annual income that loves learning new things about credit. I pulled my FIRST Experian Score from Quizzle.com (on 2-9-13). Quizzle.com was the only site that was able to find my credit report, the rest required more information in order to do so since I lack public records. I'll update on the cards I am currently as an AU because some haven't reported yet. I don't own any cards under my name since I don't have an annual income to include when applying. Im super EXCITED!! MyFico.com is awesome!!!
