Anyone here subscribe to Credit secure by AMEX? I did the $1 free trial....I'm thinking it's a lot like CCT, it gives PLUS scores?
I don't subscribe but I do have an AMEX charge card. I can go online and get an updated credit score monthly. The score I get is Fico 8 based on Experian CRA data.

Yes, the scores provided are plus scores. Amex secure is good with pulling reports and alerts but I'd use your Experian given on your Amex card for an actual score.

From what I understand it's like CCT in that you get access to reports from all 3 but the frequency isn't the same. Carefully compare and select the one that suits you best. I'm currently getting a 500 error trying to access the pages on the service.

The EX FICO 8 isn't from CreditSecure though. Granted, AmEx customers have access to the EX FICO 8 with or without CreditSecure but CreditSecure is the topic here.

I formerly subscribed to Credit Secure. It provides some good information, and is a means to look at one's report in detail. However, you only get 2 updates per 30 day period unless you go for their higher priced product that allows for more frequent pulls. I found that the 2 times updated reports was fine for my purposes, which was to track trends rather than actual scores. My scores fluctuated very little during the time I subscribed and were a bit under what my true FICO scores were at the time. The reports are good for seeing your utilisation and number of inquiries and when they will likely fall off, but other sources provide the same information. For monitoring TRENDS, CreditKarma does pretty much the same thing, with their continued product improvements, for free.
