The day I found out checking my credit score costs me 15 points

I was on Credit Karma last month and saw a little note that said some lenders do a hard pull just for checking a pre-approval rate. I had done that 3 times in one week for car loans, and boom my score dropped 15 points. Has anyone else accidentally tanked their score from just looking around?

Funny how the system penalizes you for being a smart shopper.

I heard car dealers literally count on that score drop to lock you into a bad rate.
