What is Macys/DSNB?
Macys/DSNB is a credit report code that stands for Macy’s/Department Stores National Bank.
Macys/DSNB may be on your credit report as a hard inquiry. This usually happens when you apply for a Macy’s credit card issued by Department Stores National Bank (DSNB).
The Macy’s American Express Card is a credit card that allows you to earn rewards called Star Money that you can use on anything at Macy’s except Gift Cards, services, & fees.
What is a hard inquiry?
A hard inquiry occurs any time you apply for new credit and the lender or creditor runs a credit check. It can be for a mortgage, apartment, car loan, credit card, insurance policy, cell phone, and sometimes even a job application.
Hard inquiries will typically only drop your credit score by a few points. However, if you have too many, especially in a short period of time, they can really start to add up and do some damage.
What is a soft inquiry?
A soft inquiry typically occurs when a company checks your credit history as part of a background check. It can also happen when a credit card issuer or lender checks your credit to prequalify you for an offer. Sometimes a soft inquiry might even be pulled by an existing creditor just checking on your current credit situation.
Soft inquiries do not have an impact on your credit scores.
How long do hard inquiries stay on your credit report?
Whether you get approved for the Macy’s American Express Card credit card makes no difference. The hard inquiry will remain on your credit report for up to 2 years. Each time you make an inquiry, it is recorded by one or all of the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
Unauthorized Inquiries
If you don’t recognize the Macy’s credit card inquiry or you are sure you didn’t make the inquiry, contact Department Stores National Bank and ask them why an inquiry was made. The creditor’s name should be listed under the hard inquiry section on your credit report.
