How long does it normally take for new CCs to report to the bureaus? I recently app'd for 5 new cards this month and now I want to brace for the aftermath 
February Apps:
Well Fargo Visa Signature 10k
Costco TE 10k (on Amex website it shows "member since 1992") hope this gets reported asap
Amex Blue Sky 9.9k (on Amex website it shows "member since 1992") hope this gets reported asap
Nordstrom Visa Signature - 7-10 day pending notice
Nieman Marcus store card - 2.5k
I have 2 existing cards (total CL of 3.5k for those two) that were opened around 2001, an installment loan opened around 2003, a car loan opened in 2009, mortgage and of course student loans.
I also have other closed CC accounts (maybe 3) reporting from late 90s early 2000.
My scores are in the lower 700s so I'm freaking out now (esp about EQ) because I have read some AAoA posts that say ppl took 40 point hits!! 
.
I'm stoked about the new CLs and was hoping that would give me a boost. But after reading the AAoA posts
- want help calculating how the AAoA *might* impact my scores. I know its a YMMV but any pointers or similar experiences are appreciated.
- want to know if ALL accounts used in calculating AAoA
- if there is any AAoA / Credit Utilization offsetting in my profile that may work in my favor?

Well the 2 amexs should help you out, and yes afaik all accounts are used to calculate aaoa. Sorry i cant help with the score part. Not my forte. XD
Thanks jsucool76. It's such a tricky mix - smh! I was feeling good until I started rsearching the AAoA. So I guess I'll have to wait and see. Wondering when they'll start reporting so I can check...maybe I will just sign up for the score watch alerts so I won't have a heart attack if I just waited to check in a few weeks lol.
Gardening for sure now!!
