EX is still reporting 2 older cards that have been closed. I'm worried that the new cards would lower AAoA on revolving credit on EX. My AAoA listed on EX is over 10 years with 28 accounts.If you are worried that apping and being accepted for a Walmart and NFCU cc will impact the outcome of being approved for an amex Zync, then just app for all of them around the same time frame, that way Your inquires arent posted which would looks negative when applying for credit.
umm no, INQ are instant.
Now in the case of other banks not seeing the INQ because they pull a different report would stand true here.
Walmart = TU
Navy = TU or EQ, I think they have been on the EQ kick lately though
Amex = EX 99% of the time and throw in a EQ as a 2nd pull on the other 1% of apps.
when you say EX shows 2 older accounts close, they good closed or bad closed?
What is behind waiting till OCT. for Navy and Dec. for Amex?

hmm thats good to know. Inquiries on eq. take 2 days to show up on my score watch. well either way, its still better to app at the same time if you can that way the inqs arent spread accross months at a time.
yeah timing of score watch updates is not the same as the actual credit report updates.
but when applying I would rather do all at once UNLESS you get your first credit card or your first big credit card, then I would want those reporting to show someone else was willing to give good card.
I would app in this order.
Wal mart
Amex
