Nordstrom Backdate! Nice to meet you all!

[Anonymous]

I am a long time lurker   lol Well I started my rebuild one year ago and without all of you I would be lost and in the dark! Long story short i found it easy to rebuild im back in the game in under a year but how so fast you ask its because ALL OF YOU!  Well I went from 13 Collections to 0 now I have 12 Active good standing accounts. Problem is I have 4 month credit history YIKES! So I remember I had a Nordstrom card back in 1989 so i applied and was denied so I contacted EO(Learn that here thanks!) and was approved. So I remember I was reading on here about Amex backdating and someone said they manged to get nordstrom backdated so I gave it a shot i asked the nice gentlemen if it was possible to reinstate my 25 year old account (5 seconds of awkward silence) NO! We cant sorry BUT I will have it listed for you as a 25 year old account, you just wont have your old payment history. Did not want an old account number and did not try to find it in the system BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! I was so happy WELL I got the card yesterday and it says member since 1989!! and also the paper it was attached to said, Thank you for being apart of the Nordstrom family again! It did not hit my reports yet but i will update here when it does!

 HOPE TO POST MORE and learn more from you all!!!

  Sorry if there are typos im at work and shouldnt be doing this....Hehe....

Right, the critical thing is how it shows up on the credit reports.

Just curious, did they backdate the opening date on your credit reports?  I have an old closed account from the 1970s.

You'll pay for it dearly, lol..

Last I checked, Norstrom was a bit more expensive than Macy's.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your approval.

Please let us know what date appears on your reports.  Fingers crossed that you get the AAoA boost.

That's awesome. I never really knew what the hype was about when it comes to the Nordstrom card but it really does sound like it's one of the better store cards out there to have. Congrats.
