@AnonymousI would like to monitor the FICO08 Score though.
If you are already getting your TU FICO 08 score from Discover and your EX FICO 08 score from creditscorecard.com, you're in a pretty good place as far as score tracking goes. If they are spaced apart, that's a score update every 2 weeks. You can also supplement those 2 scores with a $1 trial membership from creditchecktotal, where you'll get all 3 of your FICO 08 scores for $1. You can cancel the trial any time in the first 7 days to avoid being charged. Trials can be done again in the future, as often as you want; it's not a one-time thing. If your goal is score updates, I'm not sure myFICO accomplishes that, as I believe they give you score updates once a month or maybe even every 3 months depending on the membership. If you get alerts along the way you'll be provided with a new score at that time, but it depends on how often you receive alerts.
I would suggest signing up for all the free sites like Credit Karma, Credit Sesame, WalletHub, etc. Don't ever look at the scores they provide (non-FICO) but they do offer good tracking of your reports and will give you the same alerts you'd receive from myFICO, often even faster.
Looking at your FICO scores more than monthly or bi-weekly can be a bit counterproductive and overkill. I liken it to someone on a diet that is weighing themself every day instead of every week. They don't see the change happening fast enough and get frustrated or discouraged. FICO scores can fluctuate. You may see your score go down 3 points and then up 5. Then down 2 then up 6. Looking at your scores too often you may see those downward fluctuations more often and get frustrated, where if you look at them less frequently the minor drops will be more than made up for by your gains from sound credit behavior.
