Score Watch?

Do you find that it is worth it? Does it really update your scores weekly? Seems it would save me a lot of hassle from pulling my individual scores every few months.

It doesn't neccesarrily update your score weekly. It updates your score when it meets a qualifying change.

Technically it could update multiple times in one day or not at all for months.

I find it to be well worth it for me because the alerts let me know when there is a change that might make it worth my money to buy my score. Before I had it I was wasting a lot of money buying the scores and reports here only to find that nothing had changed and I had bought a duplicate score/report to the one I already had.

You might also want to look into TrueCredit. It doesn't give you a FICO score (It uses FAKO) But you can update your report once a day and watch for changes. This is very helpfull if you are in the repair process and have been mailing DV letters or GW letters.

Remember also, SW only monitors EQ. You may have things going on EX or TU that EQ may not pick up.
