CSP App question and odds

I am thinking of apping for the CSP, and have a question. I got an AMEX about a month ago, and the statement cuts tomorrow. It hasn't posted to my CR yet. Without the AMEX I don't have a TL over 5k, with it I do. However, once it posts it will drop my AAoA from 18 months ish to maybe  12-14.

 

EX score: 715 ish, other two slightly higher

Income: Won't block me

Highest reported CL: 3.5k

Freedom since December and checking with Chase

 

What do you all think?

Hey Fancy! As of Feb 13th it was 2 years. That doesn't include the new AMEX. I was also worrying about what Chase would think about me just opening an AMEX last month if I let it report.

They probably won't care. I suspect you will get approved but instead I will suggest that you get your rear end back into the garden pronto, post and hang out or I'll be forced to redirect the ERTs to your direction!
