I get what you’re saying. In my case, it was my first unsecured card at a time no one would approve me. All my score were in the 500’s. Understand, I didn’t expect to get the one bureau HP but after getting approved for the card, I was just happy I had one.
Interesting - I got an email alert and went to see my Experian app report and it notified me that someone looked. That does sound like a HP - oh well, I’m not worried. I don’t have much in HPs and am not looking for another card soon so I won’t sweat it.
