Amex SPG

Approved!

Started reading these forums after I applied for a Barclay Arrival back in December. Was planning on staying in the garden after that, but have some travel coming up and needed some hotel points. After reading about Amex backdating, I figured the inquiry would be offset nicely by a backdating to '98. Knew they would put my MSD at 98 because I am an AU on DW's card, and logging into the website shows my MSD as '98... Although the AU card shows 2014 (Just got it last month). Anyone know how they will show up on my credit reports? Also, when willi know my CL on the SPG?
