The score from Credit Karma is not a FICO, so I wouldn't put any value on their score other than "educational purposes" as stated in their website. Regardless, 749 or 770 is still a very good score.

+1 !  Yup, darned good score! Congrats on 100 point increase!

 

The differences between the TU score here and the WalMart score are due to the different models.  TU98 here versus TU08 from WalMart.  Which score should you go by?  Depends on the reason.  If you're applying for credit, you'll likely get the 3rd model in the mix, the TU04, which is what most lenders pull.  If you're wanting to know whcih one for simple knowledge purposes...use both!  They're both correct for what they are.
