Citi sharing Experian FICO Scores?

[PokemonMaster]

I have a Citi MasterCard and the service would not let me register. It gave me this error when I submitted the form: This Citi® Card you entered can not be registered on Citi® Benefit Builder at this time.

But I don't understand what you mean by independent from the credit bureaus.  Vantage was a joint venture development between EQ, TU, and EX.  How is that independent?

and because vantage score is independent -- not connected to any one bureau or lender.  i meant independent as it is the only scoring system other than FICO that is not tied down by any one bureau. and neither is it a scoring system that is owned and run by a bank, such as creditXpert which appears to be run by CitiBank.

of course FICO is even more independent as a scoring system, because it is completely independent of all the bureaus. VantageScore is only somewhat independent as it is an agreement by all three bureaus on a scoring system. since all three bureaus have to participate, each bureau must compromise on how the vantagescoreing system needs to work. in a way that makes it somewhat independent (but kind of dependent) of the bureaus, since each bureau cannot dominate how the scoring system should work.

The Credit Analyzer seems to be helpful, but I'm not sure about it.

Having 5 more inquiries would increase my score by 18 points?

WOW! So I guess based on that scenario if you applied 25-30 times and just didn't accept any new credit you could be a FAKO High Achiever (760+)
