newest marketing tool free score

TimeToRecover — Fri, 31 May 2013 01:33:11 GMT

So it seems that the free monthly credit score is becoming the marketing tool of many cc companies.

Over the last 3 weeks I have gotten the walmart preapproval letter which we all already know does the free CR score each month. Today I got a CreditOne (not a card i am interested in) but it came touting a free credit score each month.

Is this the new "selling" point for many of these companies.

Will there become a time taht everyone has card X, Y, and Z cause each one give a monthly report for one of the agencies?

Not sure. But I would live to pay as much as $3 a month to see my EX FICO score. That is $36 AF.

IMO they are all worthless unless your getting the scores from here. The majority of them are all FAKO scores unless otherwise noted by them.
