Over the past couple of weeks, I've been on a mini-app spree. Won approval for the Chase Sapphire Preferred card and the AMEX Hilton HHonors Surpass card. It also looks as though I'll be approved for the Chase Marriott Rewards card, too. Was denied for the Chase Freedom card due to "too many applications within 30 days" but encouraged to call recon again after that.
Thanks to new apps, inquiries, and accounts, I expected my CS to decline (at least temporarily). But to my surprise I received an alert this morning via myFICO that an Experian HP actually resulted in my CS increasing by 11 points! In fact, none of the recent inquiries resulted in a decrease in my CS; some had no impact and others resulted in increases.
Is this normal or am I seeing an anomaly?
