I asked her to verify my date for me and that was the one she gave me. For most people it wouldn't matter to much, maybe just a few days. But because of where I am it took 3 weeks for my card to get to me. Just thought I would put this out there, as always YMMV.</P> Tue, 16 Oct 2012 21:00:30 GMT Cageym 2012-10-16T21:00:30Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Amex-61-day-CLI-date/m-p/1646836#M455537 <P>I had a conversation with a CSR that told me Amex uses the approval date, not activation date.
