How many tradelines for a 700-800 club score?

Hello all Smiley Happy

 

I have 4 revolving tradelines on my credit report:  a BOA card, a GE Retail card, and two cards that I'm an AU on.

 

How many tradelines should I open before I head off to the garden and patiently watch my scores go up?  2?  3?

When myFico started doing EX scores, one of the threads about it had a poster that hit the 850 score!  She didn't have that many tradelines, no huge abundance or anything crazy.  Just a few to give it a good mix is what I recall.  

FICO: EQ 814 | TU 847 | EX ? (Started in the low 500's... you can do it!)

Amex BCE $25000, Amex AP $20000, SFFCU Visa $15000 + LOC $5000, USAA Amex $6000, USAA MC $7000, Cap1 $9500, Freedom $12000, Slate $500, Barclays "RIP" SM $11500, USBank Cash+ $12500, Citi Diamond $11200, Citi Double Cash $12000, Care Credit $13500k.

I hit 806 EQ (from myFICO) with only the following:

 

JCP ($124)

Emblem MasterCard ($999)

Costco AMEX ($9,000)

 

It doesn't take much (of course, I don't app much). Smiley Wink

I only have a total of 8 accounts showing on my CR, 4 are open and 4 are closed.  Open accounts are, 1 mortgage, 1 LOC, and 1 CC all from US Bank.  My only other CC is from AMEX.  My oldest account, ( which is closed ), has an age of 21 years.  My aaoa is 7+ yrs.  I don't apply very often.  My last was 2 yrs ago when I got my AMEX. This got me to 842 on EX, which is a perfectly clean report.  My EQ and TU show 1 PR which will drop in 11 months. 

FICO 08
TU 842 12/8/18
EX 840 12/29/18
EQ 842 12/8/18
(NASA 30K) ( Amex 44k ) ( Freedom 10.6K ) ( US Bank Cash+ 20k, LOC 15k ) Winners never quit, and quitters never win
