AMEX and BK ???

I know this has been stated but just curious??

 

I have these accounts that have a balance paid off by Christmas

 

BB store card 750 cl   0 bal

Barclays  3000.00  200  bal

Cap one  2000    0 balance

Fairwinds 2500   2200 balance

Chevron texaco   1000    40.00 bal

HSBC /Cap one Discover rewards  1300.00 CL   0 balance

 

I have a bk that will be  7.5 yrs in December ... new account in April 2012  (fairwinds)

 

AAoA  is about 6 yrs   NO negatives since BK in 2005 ...all reports clear execpt for public record...

 

I have 1 inq on EX  denial from Amex  in December ....5 each on EQ and TU...that will be a year in December......

 

 

What are my chances of getting approved  for Zync at the 8yr mark next June??

 

Just your thoughts  ...

I think your chances are good as long as you get your util. below 10%.

I dont think so, that was awhile back. I also seen on the forums on a certain date soon AMEX will no longer accept AU applicants getting backdating.

Re: AMEX and BK ???

It's possible that you could be backdated to 1995, but I think it's unlikely.  Amex has stoped backdating AU accounts; I know they don't backdate to original cardmember's join year and I think they've also stopped counting AU accounts when that person opens their own account later.  Also, I think I read something on here a few days ago about a person not being backdated because they weren't a continuous member, however plenty of people have been backdated without continuity in the past.  Backdating to an old AU account is probably going to be a little hit or miss, do you have proof of the account in case Amex can't locate it?

I don't think thats true. A lot of members here have been successful backdating thier new AMEX accounts to their original account open dates.

Re: AMEX and BK ???

Are you talking about AU accounts?  I was positive that's been confirmed here, that you can no longer add an authorized user and give that person your join year.  People were having join years before they were even born just by their parents adding them to their card.
