I use CreditKarma to monitor my TU credit report (LOVE the credit monitoring notifications).
I learned from the forums here that WalMart (both the Discover credit card and the store card) offers a free monthly TU08 FICO score.
Now I'm tempted to apply for the WalMart card and use it in conjunction with CreditKarma as a free way to monitor my TransUnion credit report + score.
What do you think of this idea? Is anyone doing this?
Guilty!!! 
Starting Score: 504
Current Score: EQ FICO 819, TU08 775, EX "Who Knows?" Quizzle 756
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+

Cool!
I read the forums a lot and haven't seen anyone make the connection between WalMart and CreditKarma for the purpose of TU monitoring.
Come to think of it, this free solution may be more usefule than FICO Quarterly Monitoring sold here:
- monthly score vs quarterly score
- TU08 score vs TU 04 score
- FREE!
For the mortgage appers though, they might want that TU04. Tends to be what's pulled for mortgages.

Correction TU98 (MyFico) vs TU08 (walmart) No one sells or gives access to TU04 besides Barclay app
Oops,, that's right,, it is a 98. My bad.
