Who is inquiry sensitive?

Options

‎07-26-2012 03:59 AM

Trying to plan my strategy, but am looking to app in a few months for:

 

Lowes

NFCU Cash Rewards

USAA AMEX

 

What order should I app in for inquiry sensitivity?  I will have 7 on TU, 8 on EQ, 10 on EX.  Each will have only 3 within the last year, however.

Starting Score: 10/1/2011 EQ 568 TU 593
Current Score: EQ 664 TU 700 EX 701 (FAKO)

None of those places care about your inquiries.

 

If you were apping with PenFed, then you would need to have no inquiries.

Seriously, about 15 of these was from my horrible mortgage process.  I had to go through 5 different lenders, some of these lenders pulled credit up to 5 times
