Amex backdating.....25 years!!!

Woo Hoo, after my app spree two weeks ago, I was a little concerned about my AAoA but this is going to help.  Called Amex just now, they found my original Amex card from 1988 and are sending me out two new cards with Member Since....1988....instead of 2013!!!!  25 year backdating, sweet...take that AAoA Smiley Very Happy

Nice WTG

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

As a favorite comedian of mine says, "that's valuable information"...in all my giddiness, I didn't even think about that Smiley LOL

Very nice!   I'm looking forward to a 1998 backdate when I get back in with AMEX, so you've got me beat by 10 years!
