MyFICO Score Alerts Stuck

I changed my balance alert notifications to $1 to see if that gets it unstuck.

Now you just have to make sure your balances change > $1.

I had it at $1,000 before and was getting alerts on everything. I'm mostly AZE2 or AZE3, so that shouldn't be a problem.

So, I called MyFICO and spoke with a very pleasant rep who informed me that she doesn't see any reason (except that I had my score alert set to 846) why I wouldn't/shouldn't receive alerts. She then stated that EQ has to send MyFICO alerts and for some reason that's not happening. Hmmm. If I don't get any alerts by the time my subscription renews, I'll cancel this product. It's money out the window, if it doesn't give me alerts. That's why I have SW.

any troubles getting your EQ report from other places, CK, myEquifax, annualcreditreport? 

myequifax $5/month gets daily reports

no fancy alerts or anything, but it's better than CK

Hi @GZG. No, I get the reports just fine from CK. The rep was able to pull my 3B report and saw all the updates and changes to my CR for September and it all matched my CK report perfectly. I question the notion that EQ needs to send alerts to MyFICO, so then MyFICO can post the alerts here. I hope I'm wrong, but that sounds a little fishy to me.

Just looked into that and it gives a VantageScore! No way I'm paying $5/month for that. CK is sufficient for seeing changes to my CR and I get the VantageScore for free.

yeah, it's definitely just for the daily reports 

shame we can't get free daily reports for EQ/Exp like TU offers

[Junejer]

I use the paid version of EX’s service, but I think they offer a free version as well, without the FICO score. I could be wrong though.

I know this is a little old, but over the last week (my cards all usually close about now), I've gotten alerts from myfico, I click the link and there are no new alerts. It seems like nothing has updated since 12/6/2023. I hate to pull my report early to see the changes when I'm paying so much to track already.

You can always pull them on CK to see what changes were made to your reports (EQ & TU). Just ignore the scores you see there.
