Just an examples

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?

Re: AAoA

If your AAoA was originally 5.8 years, with N cards, and you add two, then the new AAoA would be:

 

   (N * 5.8) / (N + 2)

 

The expression "N * 5.8" gives your total account age, which then needs to be spread across N + 2 accounts.

The formula isn't a secret.  It's like averaging anything else.  You add up the values and divide by the number of values.  Some find it easier converting to months, calculating and converting back but the formula posted by user5387 is a bit easier IMO when the prior AAoA is known.
