Everyday! Once on my Equifax subscription and then Credit Karma for any changes on my TU. If Quizzle and Credit Sesame had daily updates, I'd be all over them too everyday Smiley Happy

Everyday as well! Always interested to see if a GW letter worked and a creditor is removed!

Re: How often do you

FICO or FAKO? FAKOs, they get updated frequently but because they don't predict FICO scores I ignore them. FICOs? Up to 3x/mo, but I'm now at 3x/yr I think.

For EQ I generally wait until I get a SW alert telling me my score has changed.

 

I'm also signed up on here for TU quarterly monitoring so get that FICO every 3 mos.  BUT if I know I had some good changes (a few CAs delete etc) I will bite the bullet and pull my updated report/score after Credit KArma alerts me that the changes are reflected.

Re: How often do you

When waiting for a new balance to show, or something else: daily. I can't help it. Otherwise I will refresh 2x a month.

Re: How often do you

I check Credit Karma at least every other day for any changes in reporting. I check USAA Credit Monitoring once a month because that's all they allow, but when it was unlimited pulls it was at least every other day.
