Any way to get a free Equifax credit score...

Without the free trial and without applying for credit?  

 

I know it's highly unlikely, but thought it's worth asking.  Smiley Tongue


Starting Score: 732 (EQ)
Current Score: EQ 08 - 837! Whoo!! (5/14/14);EQ 04 - 795! (5/15/14) 748 (TU - 5/21/12); 760 (EX - 4/16/12 AMEX pull)
Original Goal Score: 760+ EQ --> decimated!
New Goal Score: Just keep swimming...

Open up a card with DCU and get it free monthly.  Think one or two other places offer similar; however, while we can get reports for free (at least the once annual) in general it's a challenge to get FICO scores gratis and typically involves opening up a particular card or account at a credit union.

 

Admittedly I have both a DCU card for EQ '04, and a Wally card for TU '08 Smiley Happy.  Though DCU hooked me up on the auto loan and Wally along with Amex are my CLI chasing tradelines so there are some additional benefits I obtained besides the free monthly scores.

Thanks.  Smiley Happy

 

I'm avoiding inquiries and new credit like the plague.  I guess I can just wait a month until I'm sure these last inquiries have turned a year old and pay for a score.  It would be nice if it weren't so darned expensive, at least!  $19.95 for a score seems crazy.

A quick Google search turns up Digital Credit Union credit card. I hope this is correct.
