Re: Update on SP VS Card Pre Approval !!!

Just checked my EQ and looks like they only have done a soft inquiry on my EQ:

 

Company Information: PRM ONL-WFNNB/VICTORIA'S SEC  
Date of Inquiry: 03/15/12
MyFico 3B Scores: EQ: 3/22/16 (727), EX (710) TU (714)

Congrats!

 

Just a comment for those learning for the first time about this feature of WFNNB cards:

 

If you get an additional card this way, you won't (shouldn't, anyway) get a hard inq. It will however show up as a new account, so there is the potential score effect from lowered AAoA and presence of a new account.

 

Contrast this with adding an additional AmEx card, where you will get a hard inq, but it won't show as a new account due to the backdating, and the effect on your AAoA will be less, or even beneficial, depending on the date on your earliest AmEx card vs your AAoA.

 

Confusing, no? Smiley Very Happy

Re: Update on SP VS Card Pre Approval !!!

I'm a little confused. I thought this pull on my EQ was a SP but my score watch today told me it caused my FICO to drop 3 pts. I'm not really worried about it dropping 3 little points since it's not that great of a score right now anyway, but why would it affect my score if it's a SP?

I am assuming because of the new account?

The reason said for the inquiry. Does that mean it wasn't a soft pull?  I don't know if I got the account or not. Haven't heard yet.

 

ETA: I just looked at my USAA CMS and it was a hard pull. Maybe they did that because my score was below 600? Who knows.
