No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I really wish there was a way to get a hold of your FICO 08 bankcard score from either TU, EX or EQ without having to have a card from Citi, PenFed, Merrick,etc...
I regret closing my Merrick card last year only because of the free TU fico 08 bankcard score. I have access to all of my FICO 08 scores but man, I'd love a site that would give you the bankcard scores, I would even pay for it ya know lol.
I get TU 08 FICO from Barclays and all three from myfico.com
I hope that Amex, BOA and Chase when they start to give out their FICO's at least one of them gives a bankcard score instead FICO 08 scores which I have everywhere.
From what I understand none really uses Bankcard enhanced scores, don't not how useful it would be.. I get the 08 scores here as well so wouldn't mind enhanced scores either just for the sake of having access to it. I have EQ from citi, need EX and. TU now.
Penfed doesn't use bankcard 08, it's NexGen, hardley anyone uses it, even less than bankcard enhanced version.

From my experience, chase has used bankcard scores. I just want it for variety reasons. And bankcard scores are always much nicer to me. I finally at the point where i have all the cards i want except Discover wony approve me and when im bored i try to get my current cards upgraded.
We've had recent reports of Chase using a range which looks suspiciously like FICO 8 Bankcard enhanced, but there was no mention of FICO nor the trademark anywhere on it... which means it probably was an internal score.

As an aside, you have built a great card lineup! Congrats

The nicer score doesn't really matter unless a creditor you're applying to actually uses the scoring model. Don't forget that the scoring range is also different with the Bankcard scores. The data in your reports is still the same even if a particular model gives you a nicer score.

CARS, maybe? That's the score they used in the mean, cruel, nasty, soul crushing denial letter when I applied.

Read about half way down. You can now view your EQ and EX 08 bankcard scores.
I just noticed this today. If you buy a report from myfico it lists the other scores at the bottom. I purchased Equifax
According to he letter I received from US Bank concerning my CLD on my PLOC acct, they use the 'TRANSUNION FICO RISK SCORE CLASSIC 04 BANKCARD'.
And it is 70 pts lower than my TU Fico 08 score, Walmart, and Discover scores.
