True, I hadn't considered that... hummmm. I don't know what the additional benefits are of a "real" membership. I guess I'll have to check it out over the next 25 days or so and use my pull wisely about 15 days in 
I'm wondering when I do my next pull how long it will say I have before I'm eligible for another $1 trial. I'm guessing at the end of the 30 day membership, but this is a first for me so I'm not sure.

I had a real membership before I got wise to trials (by reading one of your posts) - the main benefit is real-time monitoring (aka they'll send you an email if something changes on your reports) - Personally I'd rather monitor it myself by pulling weekly
the expiration of the 30 days is just like the expiration of the 7 days - you'll be able to trial up again next month 
$1 if constantly spent can add up so free is better. Free as in scorecard,discover TU service, and Lenny. I think this CCT will be the last trial I buy unless something changes.
Starting Score: Ex08-732,Eq08-713,Tu08-717

I think even with $1 trials you still get daily updates on Experian, right? I know that every day I log in it always says that the score generated for EX was "generated today" and I always assumed that the monitoring went along with that too.

Keep in mind you get a LOT more with a CCT $1 trial than you do with the other things you listed. Whether or not that dollar is "worth it" to you is completely a personal decision of course.
Do you think CCT makes some profit from $1 trials?

I got my BCE in February, and it hasn't reported. The current statement period closes on Friday. It could report in a few days, or I may have to wait another month or three.
I'm in no hurry to see it show up, though, as it's almost certainly going to result in a score ding. If it ages a bit before it appears, it'll work to my advantage.
At any rate, because the card was very unlikely to report, I decided to take advantage of that opportunity by allowing my first month's statement balance to be significantly larger than what I'd likely allow to be reported normally. One of the report items is "highest balance." I figured it'd look pretty silly if the highest balance on a $15,000 limit card was under $100.
Just thought I'd pass along that based on Credit Karma and Credit.com, AMEX just showed up on my Equifax and Experian reports after the second statement. Karma shows my first month's statement balance as my highest balance. Credit.com doesn't offer that level of detail.
