HSBC Online Credit Application

Hi, Would anyone know if filling this form out would count as a "soft" or "hard" inquiry? https://www.hsbcapply.com/start/mastercardalpha?media=M1AG05P_7c4224ca200732070608197e022755 I apologize, as I do not know how to "create" links. -ibe

Hard, they pull EQ.  Easy card to get, if low score they will start with a $300.00 limit

Actually, the form only pulls a soft to recommend a card. If you select a card they recommend a hard will then be pulled.

Re: HSBC Online Credit Application

this would be a hard inquiry. anytime you apply for credit it's considered permissible purpose. a soft inquiry would be like the junk mail you get for "preapproved" offers.
