What will happen to my scores when AMEX gold starts reporting? I have 3 CC's: BOFA for 1k, CITI for 2k and CAP1 for 1.75k. A mortgage and 2 older baddies. Scores in my sig. thanks. P.S. Would I benefit from adding a retail account? JCpenny is sending me pre-approvals. many thanks.

To answer your second question first, I don't think you'll gain anything by adding a store card.
Unless your AMEX is backdated then it will lower your AAoA once it starts reporting ~ how much depends on the age of your other accounts.
FICO won't count the balance of your AMEX in your utilization ( except for TU98 sold here at myFICO ).
I think you get a little bump for adding a charge card to your mix of credit as well, but it is minor. The key thing will be how much your AAoA drops and how much it impacts FICO
I see, my AAoA is 2 years 2 months.
I dont think thats gonna be to bad then right?
