FYI, none of those cards has been started in the last 6 months, and I believe the most recent was started close to a year ago, with the other 6 cards being 2 or more years old, and my largest credit line accounts being close to 10 years old.
I also have Delta Amex, SPG, and a few others, a combination of personal and business.
If you read the previous threads on FR here and on creditboards.com (the definitive source for this sort of discussion), you will find that having more than 3 Amex cards is probably the surest way to get yourself a FR. If you didn't know this was coming from that alone, hopefully this thread will alert other people to that.
