I was told the opposite. In fact, one member even thought I could backdate my amex (AU on DGF acct) to MY member since date, which is 3 years longer than her own.

Normally, it takes AmEx some time before they start reporting.  I'd say 60 days or a couple of billing cycles is the norm.

On one of my AmEx cards, they reported it in 3 weeks, which surprised the heck out of me.  All my other AmEx cards have taken 2 full billing cycles before reporting.

Wow...

I guess that gives me time to get some extra history on my cards before Barclays has a hissy fit.....

LOL...yeah, the odds are that it'll be some time before Barclays will even know you've got a new Amex.

Well all I can do is use the card and PIF like I have been doing. Maybe that will offset the new account hate they got!
