YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Logged into my AMEX account today and saw that my Member Since date had been fixed and changed to 1987 (instead of 2000).   This increases my oldest account age by 13 years.

I had tried so many times without success, and wouldn't have tried again except for tiger67's message thread.    Thanks to everyone who helped with this (both in the original thread and this one), especially tiger67.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Persistence has finally paid off! Glad you didn't give up; it is SO WORTH THE EFFORT!!!!

I got my replacement cards in the mail on Friday.  Both cards have new Member Since date ('87).

Now I'm wondering when AMEX will update this info to the CRAs?

probably on the next monthly update (or the one after that) otherwise you can call amex credit reporting dept. and request it.

I was going to pull my EQ and TU FICOs at the end of this month.  I might call AMEX sometime this week to see if they'll report the new date sooner.  Thanks!

Make sure you check all 3 CRAs for the proper re-aging of your account.  Experian has fought this in the past with at least one individual...insisting on keeping the newer age until they raised enough heck about it.  Good luck and congrats!

Tonight I pulled my TU credit report to verify a disputed item, and I also noticed that the Start Date for both of my AMEX TLs had already been updated to show the new 1987 date.  So it took less than two weeks for TU to update, and hopefully EQ and EX will be just as fast (will find out in about a week, when I pull my 3-in-1 from TrueCredit, and my TU and EQ FICOs from here).

I wanna know what the score bump is. This should be interesting.
