When I received the card it had a 2014 "member since" date, however when I created an account online it had my correct "member since 1998" information. Gave customer service a call and they happily sent me out a replacement card with the correct member since date.
I've seen numerous posts about people who had been AUs back in the day correcting their member since dates, but hadn't seen any posts about the reverse. It seems like this could be a good way to bump up your AAoA and score if you're rebuilding your credit and don't qualify on your own for an Amex card (assuming that you aren't burned with Amex, since they ask for your SSN when requesting an additional card).
Welcome to the forum. On the contrary,there have been many threads regarding this very issue. While your MSD and online profile were backdated; as an ACM your CR's will not be backdated. Once you become a primary, that Amex will reflect your MSD.
