Wow, congrats on the approval, that is fantastic !!! And the 40K Hilton points is a sweet bonus too ! Any idea what your AAoA is now ? I'm sure it will get a boost from this new card....
@on TU my AAoA's is like 8.4 years, but of course FICO rounds down AAoA's, so it's technically 8 years, my EQ is @ 7.6 years IIRC (rounding down 7 yrs) and EX 8.7 years (again rounding down 8 years)
This will be my 15th TL on my TU report so I may gain a year putting me at 9 yrs AAoA's, I wont see a huge boost of AAoA's because I have so many TL's listed on my reports, but any boost to my AAoA's is welcomed.
Thanks for the reply
Congrats on the new card! I may get a Hilton card in the future because I love to travel. Let me know how you like it.
P.S. Are you really into Mustangs? I drove one for 4 years and loved it but have since upgraded to an SUV.
Starting Score: 760

Yep, that is true ~ as you get more accounts the AAoA effect ( positive or negative ) of any new account is diluted somewhat. Hopefully it will push you over the 9 year mark !

I will let you know how I like the card for sure.
And yes I'm into Mustangs, here's a pic of my baby, I have over 7K in aftermarket high performance parts added to her, she's a pretty quick car, it's a 2006 Mustang GT with 33,600 miles.

I have all my reports froze and tried to app with AmEx to see what happened, and when the lady submitted my app over the phone she said she was unable to get a decision at that time, so I said to her, ""Oh yeah, I just remembered my EX report is froze"" she said, yes, that's probably the reason.
So I called EX got a temp PIN and called AmEx New Accounts back and gave them the PIN, the rep pulled my EX report and instantly said Congratulations, you've been approved.
I apped for the HiltonHH Honors card, it has no AF and a promo for 40,000 bonus points if I spend 750 in the first 90 days which will be no problem, I would like to start traveling and visiting different places in the future, so I think this card is a good fit for me.
Not to mention this is my fourth Card with AmEx backdated to 91, so I now have 84 years of history listed on my reports with AmEx alone LOL!!! (Well, I will once this card is reported). This Hilton Card will be my oldest AmEx since the open date will be listed at 2/1991 and my BC is listed as opened 3/1991, you just have to love backdating.
My BCP CL is 12,400
BC CL is 7,500
PR Gold NPSL
HiltonHH Honors is 5,000
@I just closed two of my crap cards I got when rebuilding, so I lost 900 revolving credit, but just got a CLI from PayPal SC Card from 2150>3500 and now the HiltonHH card @ 5K, so I've made up the 900 I lost plus added 5,450, I believe this will put my total avail revolving credit right around 60K, not including my PR Gold.
I had been thinking really really hard lately about getting another AmEx, and I finally caved last night at did it, I see it this way, I got a HP on EX, but once the Hilton is listed on my reports, the backdating of 21 years will wipe away any negative affect of the inq due to the backdating, and maybe, just maybe, this card will put my TU over the 800's??
Just wanted to share, thanks for reading.
Congrats Stang!!!! Now you can come int othe garden for a long stay with us!!!!

Nice car! Wouldn't work in our midwestern winters, but I would still love a ride! Lol
