I am interested with how the social credit system actually works and how much it impacts day to day life.

In the sense that you know it it isn't real. Its simply a system that stops those in debt who can't/refuse to pay it back from buying luxuries like five-star hotel rooms and first-class seats on trains. You can still buy coach and standard rooms just not luxuries. I don't know all the specifics as I'm neither a lawyer nor have I had to deal with it personally.
