About LinkBacksFIA card services just sent me a new Fidelity Amex even though my old one wasn't due to expire for another year. The new card has the same acct. number but a different security code. The "member since" year was changed from '10 on the old card to '09 on the new one (I have had accts. with them since at least 09, but this one wasn't one of them).
I'm not complaining, but I didn't ask for any of this. Anyone have any ideas why they would do this?

They are dating it back to when you first started doing business with them, not just for credit cards. They did the same thing with mine as well. Fidelity has been handling accounts for me for a long time. It's nice as it gives your average age a little boost.

Yes, although I was looking at my credit report and I think my Nordstroms and Sears card is now listed as inactive. And I never activated my Home Depot.

D'oh. Nevermind. The replacement card they sent was for another account that I don't normally use. I mistook it for my main card.
