Mine is similar. Seems like they are trying to phase out the free FICO score... which really stinks.

Thank you, @Brian_Earl_Spilner . I found it there at the bottom and it worked fine on desktop.
On the desktop site, 'View Credit Score' under Account Services is now linking to the Vantage Score 3.0 site:
https://freecreditscore.americanexpress.com/mycreditguide/enroll.do
I noticed the change for the first time yesterday. Prior to then FICO was available under account services. No luck getting FICO. After several reloads I saw FICO flash but no way to click that quickly.
It's always something with Amerian Express. Why can't they just be normal like the other issuers?

@Streetervillelady No they haven't.
If you click on Account Services, then on the "View FICO Score" tile you will still see your Experian FICO 8 score.

That is a bit odd. I just checked and on my laptop I have the "View FICO Score" tile visible on the Accounts Services Page.
I can also click on the "Profile" sub-heading in the left-hand column, then scroll down and it shows me the options to Update Your Income & View FICO Score.
I join the chorus of people hoping Amex doesn't ditch the FICO score, but objectively it wouldn't really matter. Experian.com gives the same score, for free, updated whenever there's a change. I kinda use the Amex one as a cross-check, to ensure Experian is still giving me timely updates, but that's an OCD hobbyist's luxury.

I have that as well, but it now links to the Amex MyCreditGuide/VS3 site.
Did yours just show the regular FICO score like under the Profile link?

I have four Amex cards; the three personal cards all display the "View FICO Score" tile on each of their Account Services pages, and when clicked it shows the most recent Experian FICO 8 score just as if I had clicked the Profile link in the side bar and scrolled down. The business card does not show the FICO score tile, nor is their a link to the FICO score under Profile; the only link there is to Update Income.

Well that's interesting. I still have the same hover-over link to mycreditguide for the 'View FICO Score' tile that I posted earlier.

They are likely A/B testing it and/or rolling it out to folks slowly.
Mine says FICO for about 1/10 second before switching to Credit Score... I haven't delved in to the javascript to go find the point it is replacing it, but it really seems like they are testing it out to see if it is going to be well received.....
I don't plan on letting it be well received from me.

I set a breakpoint on that span in the built-in Firefox debugger and was able to see the switch this time. Just like you said, it says FICO first.
I can still see the FICO score under the Profile section anyway.
