Amex backdating?

My mother just got a new amex credit card. If I add her to my gold card, will they backdate her card to my date?

Re: Amex backdating?

You should all and ask, but I spoke to a car, and he said they can't change the date of an original cardholder. In other words, if your mom never had a card, you added her onto yours, THEN she got her own, it would backdate to yours. But since she has established her own, they won't change it. You may get a different answer, so it's worth calling.

Worth a shot. Not that 2 years is old, but better the brand new line. So if she added me as a AU it would backdate for me?

I had the same thing happen with my wife she got hers in January of this year and I got mine in February, however mine was backdated to 2000 (I was on an account with my grandfather) so I added DW to mine thinking it would change hers--- it didn't but my card does show opened in 2000 on her CR but IF she apps for another I believe it will show a 2011 opening year
