I recently applied for a new credit card, and I was just curious if anyone knows how many points that will drop my credit score. Ya know, just cause AMEX had to check my score.

    For direct inquire but it will recover in 30 days.

    If it was a hard inquiry, which it most likely is, you’ll probably lose anywhere from 1 - 5 points.
