App spree made me :(

So I only had 1 CC( boa for 1.6yrs), recently I app and was approve for 3 new CC's( check my sig), now I realize that my aaoa will become 3moths if I calculated corrected. I guess I would be taking a CS lose of 100 points?(utilization is only 1-3%) Last I check my fico was 778 2 weeks ago from BOA letter... This makes me sad

BCE- 50 k-BOA 123 100k -Freedom unlimited-95k- Citi DC- 200k-CSR 175k

You were going to need to get the new accounts sooner or later. There's only 2 new cards in your sig. What's the third one?

No way to tell how many points it will go but the good news is the INQ'S and cards will age together.

All INQ's gone in 2 years

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

I doubt you lose that much. Don't be sad, think about the time in the garden and how fast your cs will increase once you get that 61day 3x CLI from Amex! 😉

With my math your aaoa would be almost 5 months.
And thats what gardening is for.

You wont lose that many points, maybe 40 or so. But your stay in the garden will get those back over time!! Smiley Happy

Exactly.  Unfortunately, with "sprees" comes the downside of the immediate AAoA impact.  However, this is temporary since over time and with a good credit strategy, it can only grow.
