AmX No Longer Providing Free Monthly FICO Scores

My Amex online account has always shown a monthy FICO 8 score, based on Experian I think.  I signed in today and the FICO score is gone, replace by MyCredit Guide which provides a VS 3 score based on TU.  Is this the same for everyone?  Am I just overlooking where the true FICO score is?

Re: AmX No Longer Providing Free Monthly FICO Scores

Hmmm... my FICO is still there from November 10th. Wonder if that will change come my December 10th update.

Did yours change upon updating this month's score or...?

Bad decision, imo, if they have decided to forgo providing FICO scores - it was a big plus for many amex card holders. I get my scores elsewhere anyway so it doesn't bother me much but still... And you'd think they'd send an email notification of this change.

Yes, mine updates on the 3rd.  Signed in today and FICO is gone replaced by MyCredit Guide and the VS.

Well then, I guess I'll be able to confirm on the 10th.

Re: AmX No Longer Providing Free Monthly FICO Scores

My FICO score updated on 11/21/18 and is still visible when accessing my account.

 

Honestly, the EX 08 score really doesn't hold much value at all at this point since one can obtain it for free through both creditscore.com and creditscorecard.com.  It it was an EQ score or a different FICO model rather than Classic 8 however I do agree that losing it from Amex would suck.

Re: AmX No Longer Providing Free Monthly FICO Scores

Mine updated around the 23rd. I was on there yesterday and did not notice a change. We'll see what happens, but BBS brings up a good point in the availability of the Experian score elsewhere.

Re: AmX No Longer Providing Free Monthly FICO Scores

Hmm. Mine updated 12/1, and in the app it shows the accurate EX 08 as of that date right now (I just checked).

Re: AmX No Longer Providing Free Monthly FICO Scores

Mine updated as of December 1, using FICO 8 EX data “... is the same score used by American Express”.

797 for those scoring at home.

Editorial, not sure why they would deviate to anything other than EX FICO 8 since it seems all their historical HP, SP and related algorithms are aligned with EX FICO 8. But I suppose it is possible.
