The dates on the card don't matter.  It's the dates on the credit report that we care about.  My card from April gave me an open date of 2015.

It matters to me. I love looking at my cards and seeing Member since 80.

Buit is the thrill stil there after the 1000th time?

The thrill went away with my ED, so I apped the SimplyCash. Now the thrill is back.

I got my first AmEx in December 2014... and my card says MSD 2014.

I'm so disappointed that I didn't get a card in like 1991 or something so I could get a 2nd card in 2015 that AmEx inaccurately reports to the CRA's as being opened in 1991.

It just kills that 15% of my FICO score I'll tell ya....

I know. My first Amex was 1990. I didn't use it much after 2007 and they closed the account positively in 2012. I just opened three new 3 Amex card's and while it says 1990 on my account, I'm certain my report's will state 2015. I'd love the backdating to 1990. Oh well. Too late for me.
