This is pretty much the score I had when I had 2 cards and then hit the 6 month mark. I was around 700-730 on all 3 bureaus. And that was with squeaky clean reports so hopefully that's your case as well OP. If you go another 1.5 years I believe you'd be around 760-790 depending on inquiries/AAoA/new accounts/utilization. You can get a high FICO score really quickly with clean reports and no prior credit history.

Yes, thats my intention, stay clean. Thanks to both of you for the advice, all I know about CC, I learned at myFICO from all of you.
