How long will credit score take to return to normal after opening a new credit card?

Question by Jared: How long will credit score take to return to normal after opening a new credit card?
I recently opened a new credit card and noticed that my fico score plumetted 50 points after doing so. How long will it take for credit score to get over the fact that I opened a new account and regain those 50 points?

1. How many credit cards did you open within the past 12 months? If you open 2-3 cards in a year, this flags you as a “high risk” for lenders.

2. Have you checked your credit report? Are you sure you’re not missing any payments? This also could lower your score.

I would suggest for you to check your credit report and see what’s going on. It’s weird that your score went down for 50 points after opening a card. There are a lot of factors to determine how long and how much your score will go up so it’s hard to tell. As long as you keep your cc balance low, your score will go up little by little.
