Backdating amex cards

[hrdsurfer]

Kind of curious, do any of you know if this applies to cards that you were an AU for? I just got my BCE last month, but I have a closed account that shows on my CR from when I was an AU for an AMEX card from 8 years ago.

Yes.

I tried to do this when i got my prg last month. I was an au on my aunts amex back in 96 but they couldnt find the record. All i have is my aunts name n last. She has since moved away so ive lost contact. They asked if i has her ssn or my old acct number which ive since discarded. So im stuck w my membership date of this year

I just got off the phone, and they had a record of me on a green card back in 2002, but the rep said since the account was closed that they couldn't change my "member since" date.

I got my prg and bcp cards both backdated to 2005 today off of a closed account. They are sending me new cards and they already changed it on my online account. You should try them again

If i get the "we can't do that" again, what do you think they key phrase is to ask politely?
