I tried signing up it won't let me
So is this the same score you get from experian.com?
Just signed up for the $1 deal. Got my real scores:
EX: 679 TU: 649 and EQ: 629
Called CS and asked how to cancle at the end of trial periosd and was offered $14.97/Mo for 12Mo. It's cool.
The # now is the same for ECT 1-877-284-7942. That's not the number I called.

+1
In addition, call at an off time when it's less likely for a CS to answer, such as on the weekend or early / late on a weekday. Verifying one's account info can be dicey with the automated system, but once verifed, the 5 year promo will likely be offered straight away. Accept offer and it's done. The pricing in My Account will still say $29.95, but the actual charge deducted monthly will be the discounted amount.
On a related topic, the Plus Score display glitch is still around - seems to come and go. Regardless of whether Plus Score heading or FICO 8 heading is shown, the scores are FICO 8. Display glitches abound on CCT, but fortunately are of little real consequence. Ie. some judgements will be shown with incorrect / meaningless dates (1/1/2000, 1/1/0000, etc), but internally, the date information is correct - no action required.
Even in my historical reports list, they say plus and Fico.
Sept 17 - 3 Bureau Credit report with Plus scores
Sept 28 - 3 Bureau Credit report with Fico scores
Oct 1 - 3 Bureau Credit report wiht Plus scores
All of the experian daily reports say fico.
What is going on?
EX may still be offering Plus scores for other services (ie. banks, issuers, etc that provide "free" scores) utilizing the same framework as CCT.
In short, it's a display glitch. Ideally, CCT should fix it, but in the meantime, pay no mind to "Plus" - it's FICO 8 all the time. Never seen a scoring discrepency yet.
I just refreshed my 3 and it says PLUS
edited to add my scores all went up about 20 points since my last pull on 9/28--but...I just opened a bunch of credit cards lowering my utilitization too.
