This is like watching a favorite child learn to walk.
No, I just have something in both my eyes.
I use my signature for stuff like that. Just count backward and make sure I consider closed cards as well as open, though I think at this point, my closed cards are all two years old. I should reach 4/24 in May but will probably give it an extra month before I'd consider applying for a Chase card.
The Credit Karma tip is good, or on a similar credit-monitoring website.
I keep a simple MS Word document with a few tables on my computer. One table each to track new accounts, and inquiries on EX, EQ, TU. Makes it easy to see where you are at any time. I also keep lists that track my cards by age, credit limits, APRs or other factors.
Here's an example:

You can use Excel easily to track all kinds of things. I used to be an Excel guru in my old career so I have a custom made excel spreadsheet to track all kinds of dates etc. regarding my own, the business and the DW's CC accounts. The following formula tracks years, months, days. Replace "G21" with the cell where you have the approval date.
=IF(DATEDIF(G21, TODAY(),"y")=0,"",DATEDIF(G21, TODAY(),"y")&" years, ")& IF(DATEDIF(G21, TODAY(),"ym")=0,"",DATEDIF(G21, TODAY(),"ym")&" months, ")& IF(DATEDIF(G21, TODAY(),"md")=0,"",DATEDIF(G21, TODAY(),"md")&" days")
There is so much you can do in excel. I track CLI dates, approval dates etc. with different functions. If you want to just count days... use: =DATEDIF(H21,TODAY(),"D") , just replace "H21" with your approval or last CLI date.
I will never be <5/21 nor do I give a flying crap but perhaps this will help someone.
