As a favorite comedian of mine says, "that's valuable information"...in all my giddiness, I didn't even think about that

Very nice! I'm looking forward to a 1998 backdate when I get back in with AMEX, so you've got me beat by 10 years!

Congratulations! I had a similar experience. I recently open a NFCU Visa and wanted to wash out that new TL aging. My current AMEX was showing a Member Since 1998, but I knew I had a card starting in the early 80's. I called them up and they confirmed my Green Card (actually my first CC) from 1981. So I gained 17 years on that TL and my oldest TL is now 32 years.

Congrats to you as well, nice isn't it??

Amex is quick as well. I logged onto my account and it is already updated showing me a member since 1988 and the two new replacement cards are in the mail. The fiist reporting date for both cards is 12/13.

My AAoA pre spree was 7 year 9 months so I don't expect a huge change but any change for the good.......is good

YES, but it's a bragging right to be one, not an insult
