I recently applied for a credit card to help raise my credit score faster.. i really have no plans on using the card but i wanted to have it just incase i needed it. i was under the assumption that applying for a credit card wont affect my credit unless i am denied for the card itself which i was accepted and the card is in the mail. Now im torn for on what i should do. My credit has already been pulled and wondering should i go ahead and activate the card when it gets here or just cut it up?

I want to apply for this credit card but it says you need excellent credit. I don’t have bad credit but I havn’t really had many loans are things to build my credit. If I apply and get denied will this hurt my score?
