Only fill out a few credit card applications at a time to prevent a drop in your credit score. If a lot of credit card companies are checking your credit rating at the same time, it negatively affects your credit score. Lenders get nervous about you if it looks like you are desperate for credit or you are reckless in your credit card habits. If possible, wait six months or more between credit card applications to protect your credit score.
