    No idea. :)

    But my understanding is that it is in the category of searches that other lenders don't see - such as car insurance.

    They have to be able to check your file in order to give you an idea of whether you will get a card :P

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
