Hard inquiries?

[Anonymous]

If you hit the luv button is that a hard inquiry? Also if you click on a "check to see if you're preapproved with no affects to your credit" a hard inquiry?

I'm freaking out thinking I just screwed myself after all my recent progress

Most luv buttons will state if they require a hard inquiry. Checking pre-approvals is definitely not an HP.

It's usually in the terms. All you gotta do is read.

Victoria secret. I just applied but I see some people asking for CLI as soon as they are approved, so I figured it were beneficial to my score :/

in the case of VS, that will be a hard 9 months but many comenity cards you can start requesting from day of approval.
