When I received my BCE in Dec I did not get my Fico score by mail either.  I called and asked them for it and they gave it to me over the phone. I believe this is the number that I was told to call to get my Fico score.    800-874-2717


Thanks, I'll try that on Monday.

Re: Getting EX FICO from Amex

Any update on this?

 

I'm quite curious about my EX FICO as well.

No, I didn't call them. I was too afraid that I'd raise a red flag with them. I just want to stay under the radar. Smiley Happy

Holy cow, a forums member who doesn't believe in baiting AmEx!!!

 

I'd rather have a working AmEx card than my EX FICO score any old day. Smiley Wink

I guess I'll find out in a week or two if they actually post a score on my new BCE.

The rep did say I got the best terms, so maybe it won't happen.



I knew it.
I got the "best terms" and still got my EX score from AMEX today.

It was right there in the letter they sent with my approval.

Haha, this is exactly why I haven't tried calling either.

 

I was too chicken to even call them to ask about my CL after I got approved.

I just looked over the only thing Amex ever sent me, which was the letter with my BCE, and there's no mention of any scores in it. Smiley Sad

 

Citi did send me a separate "Congrats on the approval" kind of letter, but no score with that one either, since I presumably got the best rate for the Dividend card as well. This on top of Sallie Mae not sending me my TU FICO probably because it was not a factor in their denial means the gods of FICO are against me ever knowing my scores.

They didn't send me a letter with either my Zync or Costco. All I got was the page with the card stuck to it and several pages with their terms, privacy info, etc. I have thouroughly scanned all of the papers multiple times and there is no FICO to be seen. It looks like it depends on the card you get and the terms you qualify for that determine if you're going to get it.

Thanks, Hauling. I kind of feel like a chicken, so I appreciate your posting that. I know the FRs are a small % of Amex holders, but still I just don't want to rock the boat. Smiley Happy

Could very well be, I got the BCE. So maybe it's that, but I was surprised to see that they had it plastered on the front of the page "We pulled your score, and guess what, it's on the back of this page."

 

But then again, I got a Chase Freedom with the worst terms, and they never sent me squat.
