So Walmart updated the fico score and I logged in, and saw..... No freaking change at all. It's says score 650, same as last month. But Barclays updates every 2 months, and I continue to see an increase. Sometimes 1-2 pts, but last time, 7! But my current Walmart scores match my Barclays score from September!
Do think Walmart is getting their scores from older reports?? After all, they are Synchrony, and known to pull old reports and deny you from that on cli or new cards. I just don't understand why they aren't matching up, and secondly... Why I didn't move in score when I've been gardening for 3 months . Thoughts? I can't wait till Barclays updates in a few days to see theirs.
They are both supposed to be true fico scores
If I pull my Walmart score right when Barclay notifies me of a change they always match. Walmart score is accurate up to the second when you pull it. Just like pulling a new Fico score from here. As far as when the Walmart score updates on its own, no, in my experience it's an older score.

my barclays and walmart got pulled 5 days apart with nothing new reporting and i received different scores also, so not quite sure what the deal is , going to wait for discover to report later this month , it will be the tie breaker!!!

Walmart soft pulls your TU every month to generate their Fico. The score is real and accurate on the day that it states it was pulled. Scores are a fluid number and are generated on the fly from the info in your report at the time the score is requested so its always possible they will fluctuate even day to day as updates are always arriving at the CRAs. I was just denied a CLI on my Chevron card due to a PR on file, they used a report from August for that one and it is the last time they softed me for that account, I dont have a PR on file anymore so I will just wait till I see the next soft for that account post.
If they pulled same day they would match. As both (all 3) are the same model the newest score is your actual score (at that time).
Differance is usually between updates, 2 cards reporting when you change which card is reporting or Different UTIL % reporting.
It's from the soft pull on Jan 6th not an older report. In Barclays were to have pulled on the 6th it would have been the same score.

Not true. At least not for me. I update my score daily on Walmart and most of December (the last half) it was 669. On January 1st it went to 674. It was like that everyday in January until the 7th. Then on January 8th when it "updated for me it said as of January 8th my score was 669 (which it was in December). I refreshed it and got the 674 score again, which it was the night before and the 7 days before this "update".
