Does this flag go away after the new account reaches one year of age? There must be a factor which determines the age of account as new vs old account. Is it 12 months?

Yes, it's twelve months, for each account.
 
Having an account turn 12 months old doesn't necessarily make the flag go away, though.  It just means the number of accounts opened in the last year goes down by one.  If that number is still too high, then the flag will stay there until more accounts reach their birthdays.

Re: How many accounts do you have?

Total accounts-
EX 25 (will be 26)
EQ 28 (will be 29)
TU 29 (will be 30)
 
My 2 oldest accounts drop this year-
 
12 new accounts in the last year- (would have been 13 except Blue Cash reporting over a year old!)
 
Weird that EQ changed recently to:

Amount of new credit

Amount of credit you've recently obtained or applied for.

Good

Re: How many accounts do you have?

Heres the rundown:
 
Equifax-7 open
Experian 4 open
Transunion 4 open
 
My average age account for Equifax is 8 months for Experian and Tranunion is 2-3 months. So i guess you could say im starting late!Smiley Indifferent

Re: How many accounts do you have?

15 open with 11 of those opened since Dec. I can't wait for the score jump from the inquiries and account aging. Just have to be patient and wait another 11 months.Smiley Surprised
