With wal-mart you get a free montly score, which is FICO. It is TU08, however, this is NOT the scoring model they use for applications.

All GECRB cards are acored with a proprietary scoring system for approval. They PULL TU but then weigh everything different than FICO does, and have a different scoring range, which I believe starts at 0.

I can't think of on ALL my GE Accounts but I do know Walmart, Amazon, Chevron, TJ MaXX, Lowes... When I get a denial for CLI I get the same score as what I am getting with Walmart, the difference is it only seems to update every 2-3 months for the auto account reviews in the system, so I might get 2+ month old scores and letter states when the date is of the score... but one thing now is being able to get transferred into underwriting and they can instantly pull a SP TU and review manually for CLI.
Now Household Bank I have gotten some WEIRD scores like 006.

I think GE uses a regular FICO for CLIs, but for the actual approval they almost always use this really odd scoring system. There must be 2,000 threads about it on here xD People get denied with a score of 200 when their fico is in the 500s and then go "MYFICO IS WRONG, RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE" 
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.
