Question about applying for new AMEX

[arsenal04]

What are the conditions for AMEX to backdate?  Why would waiting till Jan. 1st help?

your report would have 10 more months of histroy.

My backdating exp is cards opened in Oct. my reports say opened 10 / 91. if i would have waitied to jan 2012 it would say 1/91

Wow.  That is sweet.  Your new card ends up looking older than your original card.
