Young, Thin, & Good Looking...Does anybody want me?

Ha! Made ya look, right?
I'm referring to my credit profile. Next month (March) will mark my 6 month credit history anniversary!!!
The Estimator projects a score of 690-740
As it stands, my March projected profile should read:
Visa $2K/ bal $150 (will be asking for cli) - projected April bal $150
Kay $400/ bal $66 (will be asking for cli) - projected April bal $33
CJ $1.5K/ bal $11 - projected April bal $0
Pers Loan $1K/ bal $820 - projected April bal $705

I'd like to do a "mini spree" in mid/late April (BEFORE Fico08 hits - projected for May08). The cards I hope to secure will be my "lifetime" cards, as I won't close them because of the age they will provide...

So the question is, providing I have a 700+ score, how much credit history do the following lenders require before applying? Even if I get a different card from them to start and convert later to the targeted card that would be ok...

Amex (Delta Skymiles) - I heard the min is 1.5 - 2yrs history
Citi (Home Rebate Platinum Select MC)
Associated Bank (cobrand Citi)
WAMU
Chase (Freedom)
Discover - I heard the min is 1.5 - 2yrs history

Appreciate any info...Thanks!

PS - I'm not a student and have no baddies, lates, BK or anything - just started late in the game.

What sort of age do you have on accounts?  When was the oldest opened, how old is the oldest revolving, what is the average age erc?
The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid
