Approved for Zync!!! Denied for BCE....

[Anonymous]

Just got my Zync in the mail. I am disappointed because the Member since date is 2012, rather than the year I was added as a AU on my Mom's card in 2008.

I called the  # on the card, and spoke with a suprivisor who researched for like 15 minutes and came back to tell me that what she was was reading was saying that only cards you open count for the backdating. I told her that it use to be that way, and she put in a request for me.

I wonder if I screwed up? and have waited to call the Executive Office....

The backdating would be great for me...

Congrats! Have you made an online profile for AMEX yet? Check the member-since date there when you log in...

I did make an online profile with AMEX. I didn't make a purchase yet, but the Member Since is 2012, and the website says "THANK YOU FOR BEING A CARDMEMBER SINCE 2012".

Ouch. You may be able to convince AMEX to give you the backdating. Do you have the old card or something?

It could very well be a policy change as well....I've read stories on here of it going both ways, honestly.

Well.. I actually removed myself from the card a month ago. Although my Mom is great standing with AMEX, she does have a high utilization which was killing my chances of any creditor giving me credit.

I really don't see how it should be considered that much different than someone opening an AMEX, cancelling it, and then opening another AMEX and getting the old Member Since date.

My Mom has been a loyal AMEX customer since 2000, why can't they show some love to her son? I'm not asking for much....

You will not be backdated to an AU date.
