61 day eligibility question

I know I know.. But I won't let it rest until it happens.

 

11/27/11 Applied for BCP-I was approved same day

12/8/11 Received and activated, started charging.

 

According to my credit reports, the account was opened on 12/1/11, so when is my actual 61 days?

 

When I go to manage credit limit there is nothing to click to raise it.

I believe your approval date should be when it starts, i'm sure some AMEX cardholders will chime in here!

I used the date I was approved. I heard it was the date of activation, but again, I used the approval date successfully. The cr gives the date it was reported to them.

Mine was the date it was actually set up and given a card # by AmEx, which was a few days after approval but before I activated the card.
