I just received my EveryDay card from Amex in the mail yesterday, and the paperwork included my Experian Score. it said my FICO score was 696. I am guessing this is the Card Enhanced version since my expieran 08, per myFico, is 689, but I'll take it. 696!!!! Just 4 points shy of 700... Just 6 months ago, I was in the 500s. Not bad..
/doing the happy dance!
Congrats! Something to be proud of for sure!

gratz on the card and the score bumps :-)
Congrats, you've done great in 6 months!
Awesome! Congrats.
Congratulations! My BCE just arrived also and says my Experian FICO is 659 (which matched my FICO score from here that I pulled a few days prior to applying) so I have a little bit more of a ways to go than you do. I hope to see 700s by the end of the year though.
Good luck to you!!
Congrats! Thanks for sharing.
500s to nearly 700 in a matter of 6 months - that's a solid transformation, congrats!

Thanks, notfancy. I still need to take care of my last baddie, but I want to PFD it. Until I am ready to do that, I am not going to poke the proverbial bear since they didn't update since March of 2012.
Needless to say, I doubt that I will see any significant score improvement until that drops off.

Darn. Well, I hope you can get that PFD, or at least that the negative keeps on affecting you less every year. Regardless, like a previous poster stated you have made massive strides in a short amount of time, so you're very obviously doing a lot of things right! You deserve a ton of credit for taking control like you did, and changing things around as much as you have!!
