I was going to lay off the apps for a while since four of my six cards were acquired within the last 10 months - two of them this month. But I got to thinking that it might make more sense for the apps to be bunched instead of stretched out over time, so they'd drop off around the same time. Decided to try Amex Everyday. To my amazement, I got approved! It's only a $2K limit, but I'm in the door. That makes five out of six. The only denial was Chase Freedom.
Oh, and do you thing Amex would back date it to the Green Card I burned them on in 1982?

Congrats..
Congrats on getting back in with Amex! 
As far as back dating....on the one hand it might be wise to simply be thankful for the card in this situation but on the other you were a previous customer and if it helps your credit it couldnt hurt to ask. What are they going to do cancel your approval? 
Seriously, would they do that? If so then let it go lol
Congrats on the approval! I'm sure the back dating will go well if you didn't take out a complete currency forest when you burned them lol Then again it might be a painful reminder for AMEX after the approval lol GL
