Amex Backdating Success (Apr/May '15) :)

I think it's pretty safe to say this is total BS.

I don't think the OP has updated the thread with more relevant information or anything that supports the reported "backdate" as claimed.

Agreed - I called B.S. from the start, especially since I was in the group that just missed the backdating by only about 2 weeks and watching the situation closely.

Maybe BS, maybe not. 

I don't trust CSRs in general, and especially since there are people here that were not able to get the backdating.

Still, I figured it is worth the attempt. 

I'll let you know if succesull or not when I get a final answer and when my Amex reports on the 15th.

Hmm... It's weird how some people crave attention and make up a fantasy world where the most incredible things happen to them or those around them.

For what it's worth: I got excited by this post, having just opened my second Amex account a few days ago. I had previously been an account holder with Amex from 1991-2010, so I did not have an active account with them from 2010 until last week. My new BCE has "Member Since 91" on it. I haven't had a statement yet, and the card hasn't been reported yet.

I just now called their Credit Bureau Unit (1-800-874-2717) and the nice lady explained what most on here have reported: that accounts opened on March 22, 2015 and after will not be backdated. I asked her when she thought the policy would revert to the old ways and she laughed and said the policy change is permanent. (I guess anything is permanent until it isn't, but I'm not holding my breath on this.)

So I am confused on this.  First I read that anything reported after March 22, 2015 would no longer be backdated on the credit reports but now you have an Amex Credit Bureau Unit rep saying anything opened after March 22, 2015 willnot be backdated on the credit reports.  If this was the case I will call them up and tell them they are reporting my open date wrong to my credit reports.  It shows open date of March 11, 2015.  But was not reported to my credit reports until well after the March 22, 2015 date. Needless to say, I am very confused.  I would really like to get it to report as March of 2000 if I could.  So is it actually open date before March 22, 2015 or reporting to the credit bureaus before March 22 of 2015 for backdating?

I still need to see more . , like date of approval and first reporting. All that shows is a card that's being reported now.
