FYI  Scores fico9 ex 793/fico8 778, TUfico8 791, EQ fico8 780

INQ are ex3, tu2, eq1

last 2 tradelines 7mo Ago 1 on TU,1 on EX

I have serveral pre approv with Amex, WF, & Apple ..

So no concern of getting approv just how it will effect my score!

Re: new credit

In general, none. It will affect your CB scores.

As far as timing apps, 6 month is a safe number.

New inquiry - expect penalty points.
New account - expect penalty points.
AoYA >12 months -> 0 months. Expect penalty points.

Re: new credit

If your looking for how many points you'll lose after getting a new account. Theres no real exact pinpoint number that can be given. Thick files get less of a hit than thin files. So much goes into it. Number of accounts, age of oldest account, average age of accounts, how many accounts opened in the last year and the list goes on and on. The cards you list are nice cards.  If you want one of the cards that fits your lifestyle and with the scores you posted. Then go for it. Scores rebound back to where they were shortly after in most cases. YMMV. Good Luck!

Re: new credit

@SouthJamaicais correct. My last two cards were 0 hits. But you left out how many cards you have. Last one was 7 months ago I see.
