<prompt> Human: Im a college senior looking to build some credit before graduation this June. After considering my specific situation, it seems that the DiscoverIt student card is best for me. One of the most appealing parts of the card is the fact that they include my TransUnion credit score with my bill every month. From my understanding, whenever your credit score is hard checked, it is damaged for 1-2 years. Will the credit checks used by this card damage my credit score?  <response>: Will the credit checks used by this card damage my credit score?No. Look up the difference between hard inquiries and soft inquiries. Generally, the only time a company will do a hard inquiry on your credit is if you are actively applying for a loan or credit card.
