but does the 22 drop make sense for just 2 pulls?
If you have thirty years of perfect history, with a dozen accounts over ten years old, and twenty years of installment history? Then it doesn't make sense. You have to provide more profile info.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I have a clean report and a credit history of 3 years old and 7 personal primary cards on file, does it make sense? And now approximately how long should it take to get back? A few months a year?
Do u have any different idea for a signature?

Thin files like yours are impacted more by new accounts. Normally the ding from new accounts and inquiries is gone after 6 months.

With a thick file, you don't have much impact at all.

It doesn't seem true, it is true.  MyFico deletes posts/threads that give people proven credit repair advice.

Do you maybe have a card maxed out, or with high utilization this month?

"Something else happened."

You also see that posted on CB quite a bit.

Until you really get to know your reports and how FICO scoring works, it's difficult to make a direct cause and effect analysis.

You are.

With only 7 accounts, new accounts impact you quite a bit more than someone with 50 accounts reporting and an AAoA of 6+ years.

Open and closed, although I know quite a few people with 50+ open cards.
