I was approved for my second ever Amex card a little while ago, and although I'd read the "Amex not backdating anymore" thread, I decided to just ask since there was really nothing to lose (I originally called to ask for an increased CL/SL on the new card, but was told I couldn't do it because I'd gotten one on my old card within the past 6 months). Anyway, the CSR wasn't sure what that meant, but agreed to take a request to forward to the appropriate department. My first statement cut last week, and I just noticed the new card is reporting with an older date on the credit report! I'm thrilled! This is going to boost my scores quite a bit!

What card, what date were you approved and a screenshot of the credit report would be nice.

Yes, curious minds would like to see how/what it shows on CRAs. Or, as Nixon or CreditCuriousity would say... screenshot or it didn't happen!

And congrats to OP on successfully backdated account (if it is true)
