Hard Pulls before closing ?

I'm closing on Monday but I wanted to know if it was okay to ask for a cli on some of my current accounts which may result in a hard pull or should I just wait ? Most of my accounts want to hard pull for a cli, some do not.

Today is Wednesday. You close in under a week on Monday. Is there a reason why the CLI requests can't wait until Tuesday? I'd suggest no financial moves until you've closed.

Of course, everything can wait but I was just wondering if that would be an issue for accounts I already have open. If it is,  I would definitely wait.

Underwriting will do a soft credit pull the day of or day before closing. When they see any new credit pulls you'll have to verify if you opened up any new credit and have to write a letter of explanation. This may delay closing
