No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Ideally, when the dust has settled in a couple of months, I hope to be in the 720-750s and be approved for the low APR CCs with 5 figure CLs, 800 appears possible but, unlikely.
CCs are only being used based on $$ currently in hand to pay immediately and maintain utilization <5% while shuffling through all the accounts.

Keep in mind that AAoA is an average (hence the first A in AAoA). Having 2 out of your 24 accounts raising it from 6.3 to 8.12 is a big deal -- especially since you have 7 new cards (5 if that number includes the AmEx cards) dragging your AAoA down.

Is the score from CCMP as well?

You can also use Excel and its date formulas.

Yes, the 23 point increase is from CCMP. I know, it's a FAKO, to be taken with a grain of salt
