FICO.com scores vs. CC-enhanced scores??

When we all apply for credit cards, it's my understanding that some banks use different versions of FICO models and also use enhanced scoring models. Generally speaking, where do they derive these scores from, and what it the pt difference(give or take) between the two?? Does it have something to do with the algorithms they use?

Amex PRG(NPSL), Amex BCE($5K), Amex Hilton($1K), NavCheck ($15K), NFCU CR Siggy($20K), USAA Amex($7K), USAA World MC($7K), CSP($2.3K), Chase Marriott($1.8K), Care Credit($2.5K), Cap1 QS($3.5K), VS($500), Cap1 Secure($200) Starting Scores(Jan 2013): FICO EQ: 643, TU: 552, EX: 567 Current Scores(Sept. 2016): FICO EQ: 672, TU: 703(?), EX: 682 In the Garden FOR-EV-ER!!!!! Cards and goals achieved! Let's grow and mature these babies!!!

Re: FICO.com scores vs. CC-enhanced scores??

There are several industry specific FICO score models, such as auto enhanced, bankcard enhanced, etc...

Each model weighs certain tradelines more than others, for example auto enhanced will weigh auto loans / leases more heavily than others tradelines. So all accounts are still scored, but some are more significant.

In terns of score fluctuations, there's really no rule of thumb. It depends on what is showing on your report.
