Someone could spend an hour answering that question. Try using the search bar. For example:

The short answer is that AMEX backdates to the oldest YEAR that they find in their database for a customer, based on any prior accounts with AMEX. The MONTH is based on the month in which one applies for a new card. If they find an old account, they will use that old account year.
