Discover fraudently advertising features they don't give?

I noticed on the compare sheet recently   that they give you your FICO score for free on my monthly statement and yet i checked mine this month and last month and it says nothing... I am doing paperless billing and i am relativly new to Credit but i should have a score by now with about 6 months of Credit no?

EDIT: If your statement date was before, I believe the 19th of November, you wont have a score appear yet. Discover only started this program last month.

Edit 2: JollehRoger posted the right date as the 19th. I first said the 9th

 

Chat with Discover via Live Chat or on the phone. I had to get my credit score mailed seperatly.

 

And yes, you should have a credit score of some sort. Discover sends you a copy of your TU FICO score in the welcome package when you're accepted as a new card member.

Folks have been getting their recent FICO's as this was a recently implemented account feature.  It also depends on when your billing cycle generates.  The complimentary FICO score feature was not available before.  How is this fraudulent advertising again?

My last month bill was before the 9th and knew it was to early for my last statement. My statement came today December 3rd and thus after  November 9th. I would just like to see some score since i am relativly new to Credit. MY Welcome package didnt say any since i never had Credit before. Hopefully my Amex will tell me some score. I just don't see the need to pay $60 for a score right now

The launch date for the program was Nov 19th and as I recall it says it can take up to 1-2 statements for it to appear. If you really are that impatient about the score just call and ask.

I'd head to annualcreditreport.com and get your yearly TU credit report for free - pick up your EQ and EX while you're there, too.

 

And like I said, chat with Discover

 

Also, just be aware that the free AMEX score is a FAKO score.

Thanks, it was the 19th. I knew it had a "9" in it Smiley Happy

A credit score can't be generated without 6 months credit history. If you don't have 6 months history you can't get a Fico score anywhere.
