Question about Credit Score after getting your new card

So I recently applied for a new Discover card and after receiving the card with the letter telling me my CL and rates I also saw my FICO score and what credit company they used TU. 

I guess my question is the score on the letter they sent me was way higher than I thought I had so im curious, is this my true FICO score or is this a credit card enhanced score.

It is one of your true FICO TU scores.  It might well be a credit-card enhanced version.

Chances are if you got your credit score you didn't get the best rate and your eligible to get a free credit report from TU. In case you didn't know. Welcome to the Discover family. Smiley Happy
