When does AAoA start helping ones CS?

Apparently a negative factor affecting my score is AAoA.. Im just wondering at what point does AAoA become a helpful factor.

When your average account age reaches 3 yrs or greater.

My AAoA is usually around 6 or 5, depending on how many new accounts I have opened.  I haven't noticed any score difference with either age.

Wouldn't any non-'1 year' AAoA be an improvement over anything before that, namely 2 years?

That's one way to do it. The other way is to apply all at once.so that your accounts are all aging together to create a more robust credit file
