BarclayCard NFL Extra Points

After working incredibly hard to get my utilization down from 90% to under 50% in six months, I was just approved for a BarclayCard NFL Extra Points MasterCard. This is my first new card approval in more than 18 months. I'm hoping this will help improve my score as it brings me to more than 50% of cards with a zero balance.

They do, but I don't think I'd get approved. How much will my score suffer with two inquiries in one day?
