Well, in honor for choosing the Beaver card, I'm going to wear orange as well. Although, it may clash with December's traditional festive colors but it's all good
I'm hoping those scores will be in your comfort zone to make the jump - and I will understand if there's more "marinating" to do. We NEED another Beaver success story!
Pulled my EQ score just now.....I'm sitting at 722 with 24% UTL
Newest account is 5 months old and only INQ hits the 6 month mark on December 13.
I'd really like to have <20% UTL with score >740 when I apply.
Thoughts.....
IMHO, I'm thinking anywhere after December 13, it can be doable. Your scores are above 720 and overall utilization is not exteremely high (it's within the 30% range). What's the oldest TL on your EQ and overall AAoA?
Fin: oldest TL is 11Y2M, AAoA is 3Y2M, oldest revolver is 2Y.
Two Amex, Citi opened in June. Barclays opened in July.
edit: typo
Your AAoA is a bit longer than mine was, but my util was low - like 2%. Since you've been waiting the last few weeks, you might as well wait for your util to update.
