Walmart Discover Card FICO score

Sorry if this has been covered before - I did try looking.

 

I know the Walmart card provides a TU08 score once a month, but does it provide any other additional information from the TU report?  Ways to improve score?  Basically, how does it compare to myFICO.com's quarterly monitoring product?

 

I am thinking of applying for the Walmart Discover card for the FICO score, but I want to know more about what it really gives before I apply.

Also, what are the chances I would get approved for the Walmart Discover over the store card?

 

Equifax FICO 775 (pulled 7 days ago from myFICO.com)

TU FICO 744 (pulled 2/15/13 from myFICO.com)

 

Income 25k/year

30k Student loan debt (deferred since in Grad school, but paying $400-500 towards a month).

 

 

In my wallet, oldest account 6 years old, youngest is 8 months, AAoA is 2.5 years:

Discover More, 3k

AmEx BCE, 15k    <3

US Bank FlexPerks, 5k

Citibank Mastercard, 2k

Chase Slate, 3k

Kohls, 600

 

Utilization below 3%.

Inquiries on Equifax and TU, 1 in the past 8 months (unless Chase added one recently).

Re: Walmart Discover Card FICO score

It gives the score (a TU08 model, so it's different than the one you'd get here or the one a mortgage lender would use). Then it gives a brief rundown of factors that are helping or hurt your score. It does NOT give any detail from your credit report.

 

There's also a graph function so you can track your score from month to month.

Re: Walmart Discover Card FICO score

Just applied for the Walmart Discover card and was approved for 1.2k limit.

 

Officially entering the garden now.  I have a lot of good cards, and a free monthly TU08 FICO score! Smiley Happy

 

I felt sort of... dirty applying for this card, though.  They asked for a DL#, which I have never been asked for before.  Shady, shady Walmart card with NO benefits to me other than a FICO score.  Oh well.  I guess I'll wander to Walmart every month or so to get some shampoo or something and run this card.
