I have three American Express, platinum, gold and blue cash, they all used to report an opening date of 1997 but I checked my fako today and only gold has changed from 1997 to the actual opening date of 2004 only on TU

Just noticed that one of my closed backdated Amex cards didn't  report on Equifax.

Are you saying that it never reported to Equifax?

Backdated Amex cards don't continue to report after they are closed.

I'm not a fan of AmEx - long story - but I have a single low limit card that I keep open to maintain my 1978 member date - put $618 in 2016 on the card just to keep it open and yes it has an old very low APR (7.74%), but I still don't like Amex - 39 years of use keeps it open. 

Edit = APR and 2016 spending

Just did a credit karma update today. Older amex's showing MSD. Blue cash showing opened july of 16 which is true and after they stopped backdating. So I think the glitch has been fixed.

Did some of your accounts lose the backdating and then regain it today?

I think there is 2 fold of the question
BCE/BCP statement has to be closed after 2/20
Fresh pulled TU report on Amex, does it backdate?
My BCE closed on 2/13, BOA shows TU score on 2/20.
I would not know the answer for myself until mid next month, but i bet there would be millions DP by then.
