Actually it keeps me from taking a nose dive in AAoA. My AAoA before I opened the 4 new accounts was 10.1 years. However, my credit cards AAoA was horrible but now may be good. Before I had new AMEX product I called to see if they could find old card and no luck. I get new cards and they can suddenly find them

Wait? in between now and 1993, did you have an AMEX card?
Nope...one of the reasons I wanted to get back in with AMEX. I screwed this card up when I was in college. It was a tremendous milestone for me to get back in with AMEX. The backdating is one hell of a perk!

but when i sign in it says 2005 online (i was a AU on my dads card around this time period)
i was wondering which one would report as well.
The 2005 date from the AU card (reflected in your online account) is the date that reports. I got two new cards from them this year with "Member since 2012," but both cards are reporting as opened in 2006 (backdated to my first card with them). Congrats on your backdate!

Yeah, both of mine say 2012, but I didn't bother with getting new cards. I was just happy I got the backdating to 2006 on my credit reports.
