Everyone should keep in mind that the WalMart TU FICO is a TU 08 score, which is very different from the TU 98 score that we get here at MyFICO. I have read here on the forums that the newer TU 08 provided by WalMart is more "consumer friendly," and it's not used by most lenders. The TU that is used most is the TU 04 score, and we can't buy that.
As an example, my TU 98 score from MyFICO is 772. My TU 08 score from WalMart is 817.
My husband's TU 98 score from MyFICO is 786. His TU 08 from WalMart is 815.
His two TU scores are closer together than mine are, but there is still quite a wide difference. It's frustrating to have so many FICO scores out there (let alone all the FAKO scores). And we never know which TU FICO a lender will pull.

My Walmart TU FICO is aways within 4 points of my TU FICO through here.
scores are irrelevant now a days. the equifax fico sold here is prob your best bet in tracking your scores especially if your a member of a credit union. other than that as long as your reports are clean and you keep util in check your good to go
My Walmart TU is at the other end of the spectrum compare to myfico TU. Walmart TU 641, myfico TU 684.
And yeah, my credit union uses EQ exclusively, which happens to be my highest score at 702.
