Thoughts on approval for Sapphire Reserve?

Hi all. I've been intrigued by the updated CSR offer for 150,000 points and I'm considering to apply. I've had the Sapphire Preferred since July 2025 and have had 2 checking accounts with Chase since 2008.

Alongside the preferred, I also have:

Capital One VentureX,

Capital One Savor,

Capital One Platinum

Discover IT

My total available credit being $24,200 ($8,600 of that is my Sapphire Preferred if that's important).

I was hoping you guys could give me any general thoughts or ideas on what my chances of approval are.

I know nothing is guaranteed but I thought I'd turn to you guys and see what y'all think.

Ex: 707 TU: 704 EQ: 706 (Scores were in the 740's a few days ago but I had bit more spend on my cards last month, so my utilization increased from 13% to 17% hence the drop).

Do you guys think I'd be approved? Thanks for the insight!

Note: I'm fine with waiting a bit longer and implementing AZEO before applying, I just don't want to miss this elevated sub, given there is no end date for it yet and I'm not sure how long it will go for.

Hi everyone. I currently have 5 cards and my question was regarding my average age of accounts. Here are the cards I have opened so far:

VentureX- $10,000 CL (opened December 2025)

Sapphire Preferred- $8,600 CL (opened July 2025)

Discover It- $4,600 (opened June 2024)

Capital One Savor- $700 CL (can't get this to increase for the life of me) (opened November 2024)

Capital One Platinum- $300 (opened May 2024)

My oldest card (the platinum) is 2 years old and my AAoA is 1 year and 4 months. I would like to open another card. I'm not worried about the hard pull, I could care less about that.

If I open another card it will again decrease my AAoA. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is my AAoA important to the point where it could affect me later? If I was to open a new card today, what would it do to my AAoA?

I know it's10% or 15% of my score and I'm just not quite sure how one builds that metric while opening new cards. What do you guys think I should do? Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for all your help!
