what is the difference in impact on credit score from 1 hard pull compared to the app spree hard pull where multiple hard pulls are performed? Im planning on applying for a new card soon and thought since i will be taking a hard pull i might as well use it as a opportunity to request hard pull credit limit increases on my cards. How badly will my score be dinged from taking all these hard pulls compared to just the single hard pull from the new credit app?
There’s no such thing as "at the same time”, so there is also no “might as well". Inquiries happen in real time, so it doesn’t matter if they are seconds or days apart. Inquiries on average provide for a drop of 5-10 points each; use simple addition for multiple inquiries (up to six).
Impact is going to vary with credit profile and it's never just about the score. A thinner credit profile is going run into number of inquiries as a reason for denial faster than a thicker credit profile.
Are you planning any big purchases in the near future (house, car ect.)?
If so, you might not have much to gain from taking the HPs or opening cards.
