if i run my credit score four time in a month will that hurt my credit score?

Answer 1

There are a number of things people do on a regular basis that will have a negative impact their credit score. Signing up for cellular service or utilities generates an inquiry. Often apartment managers run credit reports to see how well you pay your bills. This is another hit to your score. When the consumer requests a report, it does not have a negative impact.

Answer 2

You cannot hurt your score by pulling your own report directly from the bureau. This is called a soft hit and is not even visible to lenders.

If a lender pulls your score four times in a month, it will affect your credit. This is called a hard hit.

And frequent checking of your own credit report is a very responsible thing to do. Although your creditors may only report monthly or quarterly, your credit report is constantly being updated and can change at any minute. Mistakes are made. Reports are merged, adults are listed as minors or deceased, accounts are added or subtracted due to data entry errors. These things happen every single day.

If you are checking your credit so much because you are trying to raise your score, I would suggest that you subscribe to a monitoring membership. All of the bureaus offer them and some of them monitor all three bureaus and give you all three reports and scores. That way you can see everything any time you want to. The average cost of a credit report and score is 15.00. The average cost of monthly monitoring is 13.50. So as you can see, even if you only have the monitoring for one month, you have still saved money. And the more frequent you pull, the more money you have saved yourself. Also, most monitoring memberships give you lots of perks that help you learn about credit and scoring and things of that sort. An educated consumer becomes a consumer with a better score and more buying power.

Answer 4

Is there a each and every year value linked with protecting this card? If no longer, i might shop it open, yet basically use it for small purchases which would be paid off truthfully on the tip of the month.

If is just for credit reports that is fine, because that is call "soft" credit check and not going to effect your score at all. But if is for loan, credit cards, and etc. It will, those are hard request and will hurt your credit.
