I really need the AAOA to cross 2+ years but because i been building the last couple of years adding new lines every so many months it's just fell back every time. Hoping now that i've layed off adding them the AAOA can start to improve my scores too.
Yep that's me too. I went from a 5 year AAoA to a 6 month AAoA in just a few months of app'ing. From fall 2014 through July 2015 I added 17 new cards. And the sad part is I I only really use like 9-10 of them. I just got so excited to finally get instant approvals after years of denials. But I learned my lesson. I have a few more months to go before my AAoA will be back over 2 years, and then I'm going to start getting rid of some of the cards I don't need. That way when I'm ready to app again I'll be able to get the cards I really want.
