I have been reading here that if you have a number of credit card companies reject your application in a short time, it also reflects badly. But if you do not have a credit history at all and are being rejected initially, I think it will not be recorded anywhere. Am I right? Can anybody confirm this?
Thank you

Each time you apply for a credit card the issuers runs a check on your credit history, and that is recorded on your credit report. In you have alot of "inquiries" in a short period of time this is can have a negative effect on your ability to obtain credit.
