Nothing! --we just have a lot of obsessive score-pullers. 
I did the same back when my reports were constantly changing, partly out of curiosity to see the new scores, and partly in the endless attempt to crack some tiny part of the FICO scoring algorithm. (Mostly all that happened was that I became even more confused, lol.)
But other than the discount codes that you can Google, it's an expensive little hobby, that's for sure. I don't suppose it's any stranger than model-rocket building or fly fishing or something.

Alrighty.. thanks for the quick replies!
I think I am going to stick with SW, and will pull TU after any major moves or expected changes. Fiancee and I are really working hard to do the right things for our future after some past individual mistakes, and thank god for this board!
We are up to $92k in CL now, 4 months after being stuck individually at around 20k total. We've added PenFed, Alliant, NFCU, etc specifically based on recommendations of this board and it has done wonders for our Util and freedom to move money around with BT's for the best interest rates for long term payoff. We'd still be stuck with BoA and Crap1 if not for all the recommendations here! (Still trying to find a way into PSECU and we'll be done
)
Obviously, we done a number on our AAoA and inquiries, but well worth it for the future when we go for our mortgage!
Thanks again,
JnL
i agree that credit scores aren't the end all, be all, as watchmann said...but when you are rebuilding your credit or expecting significant changes, it can be pretty important or even motivating for you to see those changes as they occur.
typically i pull my scores every month to 6 weeks. right now i have a bunch of inquiries dropping off, & accounts aging over 1 year, so i'm watching closely for changes. not paying for scores every day, but definitely counting the days til i can pull them again. as the others mentioned, it can be expensive, & i don't want to be an idiot & spend all my money on fico scores instead of on bills!
