Good to know. It seems that from my experience having only 2 to a maximum of 3.5 years average age is borderline to affect the scores for a while on mulitple new accounts. My mother also has about the same age as you and when I added her as an AU onto my accounts I notice it dropped her average age, but certainly did nothing to her score of 787.
...You timed your apps according to when you thought your pipes would burst to meet the minimum spend. Amazing!
