Everytime there is a change in your report that grants a score change, the one from Barclays updates. I know this because today a new balance in one of my cards went from 70% to 0% and trigger the update.

In addition to your FICO Score, you'll also receive:
• Up to 2 factors affecting your score
• A historical chart tracking your score (after 3 months of history)
• Email Alerts any time we learn that your score has changed
it's similar to scorewatch but just for TU fico
Barclay sent me an email today.
712 >>> 723.
Nice.
I just got approved for the rewards card yesterday. I signed into my account after checking out this thread and a pop-up box immediately came up saying check your FICO score for free and monitor and get score anytime you want it. I accepted and it said my score is 621. That's awesome to know my TU score. I pay for score watch on here which is just EQ and EQ is only 598. So now I get monitoring on both of them, yay....building here I come!
I have a couple of Barclay cards, and searched both site for FICO score and got no help. However, I have signed up for alerts if my score chanmges And I should have a TU inq become 366 days old tomorrow!
Sounds like there's no clear resolution to exactly how often the Barclay's credit score updates. I read the following information from this website which may shed some light on this discussion:

Cardmembers can view their score online as often as they like, but to be clear, cardmembers aren’t pulling their own score. We receive a new score from Transunion, at a minimum, every 60 days. So, when the cardmembers log-in what they are seeing is the latest score we have on file. However, score updates could happen more frequently, depending upon certain changes to the cardmembers credit report; like applying for new credit or refinancing a mortgage. Cardmembers will then receive an email alert notifying them that their score has changed.
