What is the Experian score offered by Discover?

[Anonymous]

I just got a Discover More card and see that for $8/month, I can get Experian scores.  I thought that the only way to get EX was through sweettalking lenders into showing yours or becoming a friend of PA parks? would this be a FAKO EX?

I forgot to post back here, but I updated the CMS Guide to reflect that the service is offered via one of EX's services (similar to freecreditscore.com). Same benefits anyway. The score is a FAKO called a PLUS score. In fact, a brief video played showing a lady talking about the service and she slips in that it is a PLUS score.

Oh - It's a PLUS.  Well, that's a definite minus. 

So, mordant (and welcome, btw) - Here's another thread from today which speaks to the significant difference between  PLUS and FICO scores.
