Will applying for a credit card hurt my 760 credit score?

Most credit card applications result in a hard inquiry, which typically lowers your score by 5-10 points temporarily. The impact diminishes over 12 months and falls off your report after 2 years. Only apply for cards you're confident you'll be approved for.
