Well I just did it today so I don't know if they pulled using soft or hard and I don't from which report they checked but I can tell you on March 10th I pulled my credit report from another company I use to monitor my reports and I found the inquiry came from Transunion for getting the initial card.
I'm from New York the over taxed state !
