Also, I presume it's getting Date Opened from the credit report too? So Amex cards that were opened before March 2015 which have backdated "opened on" dates on your credit report will similarly show backdated on the app?

Just checking, because are the two other common ways that cards opened can deviate from cards seen by Chase on your credit report.

Thanks.
I assume they don't show in the app until they're on the credit report, but can't confirm that.

The "opened on" date for all my Amex cards except my most recent (8/2015) show they were opened on 2001. When does Chase see Amex cards from 2014? Does the backdating help (they don't count towards 5/24?) or hurt?
