How often do you check your scores?

Checking credit score often couldn't harm your score??

Whenever you use a service, like pulling your reports from the Credit Reporting Agencies or using a credit monitoring service, or even pulling from here, the service will pull using a soft inquiry as opposed to a hard inquiry. FICO and creditors only look at/score hard inquiries, and ignore the softs. Now if a lender pulls your credit, then there's the potential for harm.

I check my credit reports every day.  I have no FICO® credit score to check yet.  Reports and scores are not the same thing. When 6 months have passed then I should have a FICO® score, I will check Transunion and Equifax from this site once a week for my husband and myself.  That will only cost $80 a week -- money well spent

I am working on GWing my last paid collection off, and haven't gotten response from CA.  So I check my CR about once a week hoping to see it come off.  As soon as it falls off, will probably only check monthly or quarterly.

A weekly check is just fine with me.  Not so much for the scores but to make sure nothing fishy is going on.
