<prompt> Human: I know that sounds stupid, but hear me out.Ok, to get a few things out of the way, Im 21 years old, so I obviously dont know everything there is to know about these things, so bear with me.I have a BofA cc, a Discover It cc, and a student loan. I have a 2,500 CL on the BofA and 3,000 CL on the Discover, both of which were recently increased automatically for responsible use. I pay all of my bills in full and on time. I also have a 0 interest 2,000 balance student loan, but not because I needed it, just because my scholarship requires it. I can pay it off at any time, but I prefer to pay it off over time so that there can be another account showing responsible borrowing. I currently have a 740 FICO score, and 3 inqs.So, to my question. I want to also get a Chase Freedom cc and an Amazon Rewards Visa cc. The way I look at it, wouldnt it be better for me to get those cards now? Sure, Ill have 5 inqs by doing this, but theyll ALL go away within two years, rather than always have one or two on my account every year or so, and then in a few years my AAoA would be far less volatile. For example, if you have one card for 10 years, and then open a new one, your AAoA would go from 10 to 5 years just like that. Whereas if you have 5 credit cards for 10 years, and then open a new one, your AAoA would go from 10 to 8.3 years; a much more tolerable number.So, do you guys think I could get a Chase Freedom cc, and do you think my idea of getting both cards fairly soon is a good idea? If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.Edit: Thanks for the advice! I will look into the Sallie Mae card.Edit 2: Amazon Rewards card is a joke! I instead applied for the SallieMae card and got insta-approved for a 3,500 CL!  <response>: Yes, applying sooner rather than later is generally a good idea, especially if you dont plan on needing to take out a large loan anytime in the immediate future. If you apply for multiple cards under the same company in the same day, all those inquiries may only count as one inquiry, although that varies.Also, if youre looking to get the Amazon Rewards Visa solely for the return on Amazon purchases, I would get a Sallie Mae Mastercard instead. You get 5 back off Amazon purchases using that card, while I believe the Amazon Rewards card only gives 3. I recently applied for and got that card with a 720 FICO score, so you should be fine.
