how often should you check prequal sites

is there any benefit to checking prequalify sites daily.......helping my brother in law rebuild.....he has managed to get a couple of Cap 1 cards but is starting to rack up inquiries and denials.  Steering him clear of Credit One and FP.

Just curious as to whether or not they actually do soft pulls when you do use them..........we monitor EQ and never see any SP listed.  He is monitoring EX also and can only see the HP  even though there is no place to check for SP
