Got it working on my Sallie Mae...score is 750
it just worked for me, gave me my fico score after just simple clicks
Great info! I don't recall seeing an email about this.
I found 2 things: Under "alerts," at the bottom of the page, there is an option to get an email when your FICO changes. That did not give me a score right away, so I wonder if they'll email when it changes.
Under "tools and education," I had the FICO option and was able to get my FICO, even though I have a freeze on all 3 CRAs. It showed: Your FICO® Score last updated on 10/30/13 under the score 761.
It is the same as WM for me, too. This is a great perk from Barclay's. I wonder how often it is going to be updated. I don't recall anything saying it would be monthly, like WM.

Cool.....worked for the Arrival ... 768..this is TU Fico right ?.....so no more need to think about the WM card ...LOL
Edit: oh mine is from 09/30/13...so we will soon find out if it is on a monthly basis

I have Sallie Mae & that did it thankfully! I was going crazy Replaced financialtools with score & it worked yay!. It is the exact same as my wal mart DS. Which means I wasted a HP & have a card I will never use (wm) for no reason because I only got it for the score monitoring.
Same here. Have Sallie Mae. Never got that email. Do have the new notify me when my FICO score changes option under alerts and checked that, but did not see any score.
Did that trick of changing the URL (great find!) and a score popped up. It's from mid-September and is way out of date now because I've improved my util hugely since then.
Looks like a work in progress as others are saying, and I'm with you, MoreRewards. Out goes the Walmart Discover card as soon as this function is completely working on Barclays. Only got the WM card for the score and have been dying to trim down my number of cards.
Also, score was from 9/17 and matched what Walmart said at that time (729). Score is more like 750-760 (756 EQ) now since I'm paying down balances, but I can confirm it looks like a TU 08 score just like WM uses.
This is GREAT!

Thanks so much for the link, no runaround for me all I had to do is check off I accepted the conditions for the score and my score showed instantly it is same as Walmart free fico 08 745 as of last month Sept, although wondering will this score update monthly wish it was the 04 version but anything is good for free also I only have the B & N Mastercard for anyone out there with this card
If it's the same Version WM uses then I guess there is no need for me to app for a Barclays card. To bad they didn't offer EQ or EX instead.
