How often do you check your credit score?

[demo18c]

I close soon so I daily pull all three. If i see a change on my CR then I will pull my scores

I check my FICO scores once a year. My next update will be around April 15th. I really do not see a reason to check my scores much more then that unless I am planning a major purchase such as a house. 

I check my reports and fako scores frequently but pay little attention to those.

I last checked mine in 9/09 and am not sure when I'll check again. I'm in no hurry.

From a BK years ago to:
7/09 TU-742 EQ- 779
8/09 TU-765 EQ- 783
9/09 EX pulled by lender 802

You can do the same thing with hard work

monthly

I belong to Score Watch for my EQ score, so that means I can pull my scores and reports 2x per year. That said...I started my free trial of Score Watch on August 6th. I've only purposely pulled my EQ score once since then. However, Score Watch has alerted me 22 additional times of my FICO score since August 6th. So...I guess I get my EQ score quite often, but all I did was pay for the annual membership (and I got a decent discount on that).

As for TU, I belong to Quarterly Monitoring, so I get a score and report 4x per year.

I'm cheap. I don't need my scores more often than that.

I check at least  twice per year.  I too have equifax score watch - excellent program!   If my score band change up or down I get a free alert with the score.   Anyway,  when i was in credit repair i check daily yes daily, using american express credit secure.  So, in short if I anticipate a change then dially.

I get my fico scores monthly, around the same day each month.  I am on an aggressive cc debt elimination plan and I need to see my scores.  I subscribe to myfico Transunion products and get 20-30% coupon codes when necessary.  I recently found out that now that I am a NFCU member that they offer special discounts for Equifax and give "FREE" unlimited credit reports which can be dangerous in itself because I can get a new equifax report every 24hrs .  I've found that SW directly through them works better and faster, it's through a previous SW purchase that I don't know aboubt, perhaps my purchase from here but I do know that I no longer get alerts from myfico, only thru NFCU/Equifax.   I like to check often because of self-gratification.  All though, I plan to not purchase my TU scores unless i've received an alert from NFCU/Equifax.

i normally check 2-3 times per week if i paid a big lump sum of money to my creditors.

other wise 1 a week.

I check my scores whenever there is a major change to my report, such as a baddie falling off or a significant reduction in utilization.  Other than that, I just monitor my reports with CCT.
