Multiple Credit Card Approvals

Hi Guys...

 

Just curious... How does getting approved for 2 credit cards at one time affect my score?

Re: Multiple Credit Card Approvals

The inquiries will have a more immediate effect and lower scores a bit. The cards themselves won't effect you in any way until they first report. After that, it depends on a whole host of variables (total accounts open, total utilization, debt-to-income, etc.)

 

tl;dr: It depends.

I Have Way Too Many of These.

American Express - No CLI or Appreciation Gift in 7 Years

Citibank - Handing Out Credit Limits Like Candy

Chase - Surprisingly, Still Tolerating My Credit-Chasing Ways

Bank of America - My Newest Bae.

Everyone Else.

Without a complete credit profile, it's hard to say.  It good be significant or it might be minimal; it all depends on what was on file before.
