American Express reporting slowly?

Anonymous · ‎10-14-2015

I recently opened an Amex Blue Cash Preferred card, 9/01/15. Still no reporting to the CRA's after a full cycle. Had a statement balance as of the closing date. I've heard some rumblings about slow, or no reporting. Maybe I'm just excited to see it post as a new account, but figured it would be reported by now! Any insights on Amex?

Not unusual for AmEx to take a while to first report a new account. Some have experienced a couple of months, IIRC. Not al llinks below are directly relevant but see also prior discussions:

I received an Amex in August and it still hasn't shown up on my reports.

I am in no hurry for mine to report, all my 5-6 point dings from new Inq's and TL's, received it very end of last month, closes on the 22nd of this month.

I hope they take 2-3 months to report, but with my luck they will report this month.

Apped for bcp 8/18, received it a few days later, a month ago a statement closed on sept 15th, with a balance due, no reporting yet =/ tomorrow my new statement is due to generate supposedly so I hope they report a few days after this now, not that it really matters since I won't be apping for anything for a good while, I just wanna know what my score will move to. AAoa drop and such, and how long I need to garden for to hit 2 years on the nose for aaoa

That's wired. They usually report to the credit agencies within 7 days. I opened mine last year, and they reported right away.
