As long as you pull your own reports it will not do a thing to your scores.
If you apply for credit or ask a lender to pull your report for you, then that will negatively affect your credit.
So many posters answer and only a small few even have a clue - sheesh

If you are pulling your own credit report, NO. This does not effect your score at all!! its only "inquiries" by a third party (like requesting a credit card) that can hurt your score.
I have a monitoring service and I can check it every 24 hours and it doesn't ding me one bit! |

Pulling your own credit report, just to check it, will not hurt your score. Having it pulled by other people, like when applying for credit, will hurt it. |

Not getting reports. Now applying for credit, whether you use it or not can affect your credit, e.g., you apply for preapproval on a car or something but then don't buy can though |

Echo is right! Pulling your own credit reports will not hurt your credit score.
At www.annualcreditreport.com you can get your free report from each of the three credit bureaus.
Although, there's really no need to keep pulling your reports, as nothing will change that quickly. |

No, you can get as many copies of YOUR OWN credit report without it having any effect on your credit report, it is called a "soft inquiry". Only hard inquiries have a ngative effct on your report. To see how you credit score is calculated see http://finance-girl.blogspot.com/2006/09...

usually any time you look for a loan or try to get a credit card that's noted on your credit report. I'm pretty sure if the creit bureau itself checks something then it's noted as well but under a different kind of notation.
Why would be interested in your credit score? The only time you should be checking your credit score is if/when you go to buy a house, and you only need to check it twice...once to see initially how low/high it is, and once after you've done a lot of things to correct that over the years. |

Yes, it will. Why even get so many? You only need one. The Discover card is a good one to have because you can earn money back. But Discover is not taken everywhere. For instance, in some small shops. Also I don't think it is taken in too many countries overseas. Visa is taken everywhere that I know of. |

any inquires affect your score and remain for 2 years |

Yes. You are entitled to check for free once per year. After that once per year check, companies asssume that credit inquiries were done by other vendors. Therefor, they will wonder why you are applying for so many things. Your score goes down with each additional check, as does the opinion a lender will form. |

According to what I have always been told yes it can start to effect your credit rating because it is a way of seeing that you have multiple perspective creditors looking at you. |
