Where to get credit score?

Discover gives you a free TU score even if you're not a member. Its on their homepage.

That's a good suggestion but is not quite right.   The score you are thinking of is drawn on Experian.

Discover offers two free FICO 8 scores.  One is for its CC holders and is drawn on TU.  The other is for anyone, even if you have no accounts with them.  That score is drawn on EX.  That score can be obtained by googling Discover Scorecard.

My personal recommendation for people looking for a free EX FICO 8 is the link I gave earlier....

           https://www.creditscore.com/

since it gives a full EX report each month along with the score.

Once a person has that, however, he could sign up for the Discover Scorecard exactly two weeks later, and that way he'd have two EX FICO 8 scores drawn two weeks apart.  I think some folks here have done that with success.

Hah, didn't know that. Kinda weird. Would have thought they had a deal with a single CRA.

Nope.  It's kind of cool though, because if you have a Discover card between your account with them and the free score they provide monthly at creditscorecard.com, you get 2/3 of your FICO 08 scores.

That first month is basically a cheaper trial for the full premium membership. So, yes you can see TU and EQ as well (once a month).
