Third statement cut on 9/1, reported to the bureau as opened 3/5/11 (date I opened Amex)
Thanks! I'm looking to see if Citi will be using the Amex "Member Since" date vs the date the card was actually opened. My Amex Costco card was backdated to my Member Since date of 1986, and I'm hoping to have the same date with the new Citi card. The date the Amex card was actually opened was sometime in 2011, same as you.
Glad to hear the cards are beginning to report. I'll be watching for mine to see what Citi reports as the opening date.
I just checked my discover's scorecard for my Exp Fico and it say's I have one more account than what I am supposed to have. Is anyone having AMEX reported as closed and CITI reporting as opened at the same time?

I think that is likely, at least initially. I've had accounts with other banks that were transfered and the closed card kept reporting for years. I've had other transfered cards removed after a month or two.

yes, thats what i have seen in my TU report today
Thanks. I perfer to have it reported as closed for years since AMEX was my 2nd longest account. It does help with my average age of account.
