Amex Blue Cash Preferred Approved with baddies

I was supposed to be in the garden for 20 months, but...I applied for the Discover It Chrome yesterday and was approved for $5,500. My Cap 1 Savor is only 4 months old. Then I was thinking I would really like to have the Blue Cash Preferred. I knew if I was to be approved it would be a low limit, but I really would like my accounts to grow together for AAoA so I'm willing to take the hit now to set myself up for the future. Amex approved me for $2,000. I'm thankful and I know the limit will grow. 

 

Pulled Experian only. Fico 8 was 674 when pulled. Credit Util was 1 percent. inquiries was 12, 2 in the past 12 months. AAoA is 7 years

My Cap 1 Platinum and Discover Cash Back are over a year old and never late on any payments. I had a USAA Secured and SelfLender thats a year old and closed with no lates. 

 

Baddies: All of my baddies are actually my oldest accounts so I will take an AAoA hit once they all fall off by summer 2021.

2 Nelnet accounts: defaulted, closed and transferred to a collector. 120 day lates  

2 Kentucky Higher Education accounts: paid and closed. 

Nelnet: Charged off and settled. 

Cap 1 auto loan: paid and closed. 90 day late - 5.5 years old, 60 day late - 3 years old

Verizon: paid and closed. I actually use their services still and they refuse to take this off my report. 

 

Thanks to this community and I hope these data points help. Now I'm in the garden for real until 9/2021. My next and last card that I want is the Freedom. I bank with Chase and will be at 2/24 by 9/2021 and all my baddies except Verizon will be off my report.

Also I want to add that I had no pre approvals for this card. I receive mailers for the Gold and Green card, but when I checked the prequals I was only pre approved for all of Amexs hotel cards.
