Does applying for a credit card impact your credit score if declined?

Currently have 712 FICO and have been building credit for 10 months with two basic CC’s, looking to get a chase sapphire or Amex gold. Open to other suggestions as well, ideally cards that have a bonus if you spend X amount in a few months.

Helpful if the card has major travel benefits but I have yet to start traveling for work and unsure when it will pick up so not necessarily a deal breaker

It's usually a 3-4 point hit to your credit score for a hard inquiry.

No. The credit card company is checking your credit file for credit worthiness.

You can’t get a chase without 1 year of credit history.

Hard inquiries literally don’t matter. Especially if they’re on EQ/TU. I have 35 with a 785.

funny

EQ = Equifax, TU = TransUnion, two of the three major credit bureaus (Experian is the other).

You should have no issues getting approved for Amex, especially any of the charge cards

If you have an Amex already, they generally don’t do another hard check as they measure you based on an internal score

Ah damn unfortunately not

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
