<prompt> Human: I am getting a little tired of hearing the statement above from credit card companies. I have had 2 accounts open for about 2 months, I understand patience is a big part of building a credit history, but no one tells me how long I have to be patient. So my question is how long do I need to have these 2 accounts open before credit history can be established? I dont plan on continuing to put hard inquiry after hard inquiry on my account so I can get declined.  <response>: 2 months is nothing. Think more like 3-5 years.
