Hi Tina. It depends on how long ago they ran your credit last. You can have your credit run up to 4 times in a 30-day window. The first check will probably affect your credit a little bit, but the follow 3 won't. After that 30-day period, a new 30-day period starts and the first check will again have an impact on your credit score. I don't know how much your score is affected, but I am sure it's a few points, which can make a difference depending on how close you are to a benchmark such as 680 or 720. I hope this helps.
