Some outfits do "universal default" in which it is almost as if you are re-applying for credit with them every time they pull a soft-inquiry. Their software checks your credit situation as of that day of the pull to see if you satsify their criteria.

Many outfits just do it in the beginning and they don't care what your credit situation is years later as long as you are making all of your payments on time.

However, universal default is different because they can bend you over and give you the big chorizo by jacking up your interest rates, change the terms, or even close your account. That happened to me with a credit card that I got from my employer for business expenses which was Diner's Club. They did a soft pull at least once a week. And when my debt went through the roof, they put severe limitations on my credit purchases and then they eventually closed the account.
