You can still view your transaction history leading all the way back to account creation but it’s not in the normal place. I’ll try to find it and edit my post because my account is also only tracked back to 2012 but it was created in december 2005.
EDIT: Found the link, it’s a legacy subscription payment history that tracks back to the beginning.

11/23/2004 and I’m not in either. It’s all good though. They’ll add more people as it continues.
Why do people keep saying this when it’s right on the announcement page:
To fill our pool of beta and stress test participants, we’ll be choosing dedicated players who meet select criteria from both the WoW Classic beta opt-in and the standard Warcraft beta opt-in. Participants will also need to have an active subscription or active game time on their Battle. net Account. While opting-in to the beta is the primary way to make sure you’re in the running to join the test it doesn’t guarantee an invitation to the closed beta test. We may also consider additional factors such as how long a player has been subscribed to the game so that we have the right mix of players to ensure great feedback toward making WoW Classic the very best experience for the community.
Emphasis mine. But they stated right since day 1 that account age was a factor. I believe Ion is even quoted as saying in some of those video interviews that they wanted vanilla players to test Classic so they could help ensure the experience is as correct as possible.
Hmm I can’t access that page. It has a 404 error. Everywhere I try to go it keeps taking me back to account.blizzard. com.
Crap my bad its supposed to have .html at the end of it i’ll edit it again
Oh I’m dumb and didn’t even notice. You’re awesome, thank you!

I know for a fact they can see when your account started because last time I had a GM ticket they got really excited when they saw mine was a day one account since I guess they don’t see that often. That being said I definitely don’t have an invite and I’m totally jealous of those that do haha.
