To give an update, I sent off 2 letters last week requesting the account and Optima CC to be backdated, and I also called in this morning with the same request. I had no problem with it this morning, and the account specialist said my account showed a "member since" date of 2007 and my new credit card is in the mail reflecting the updated "member since" date.
Since my account is only 3 weeks old, it has not shown up on my credit reports. It seems AMEX lags behind a good month or so. What do you think the chances of it showing up with 4.5 years of perfect payments are? Or do I need to do something else to make this happen?
Thank you.
Congratulations!
I don't think you have to do anything for it. Just wait for it shows on your CR.
