Halifax Credit Score

I applied for a Halifax Cardcash account about 7 months ago. I recently got a copy of my credit file and noticed that Halifax had done 3 searches on my file within a week?

Would there be any reason for this? Once, I can understand, but three times?

How will this affect my credit rating?
If the world is a stage... I want better lighting!

    I don't think the searches show up on inquiries by credit organisations performing a credit check. I.e. its only made available to the individual concerned.
