 TITLE: How Do I Get My Real FICO Score? CONTENT: How to Get Your FICO® Score\n---------------------------\nThere are several ways to get your FICO® Scores, both for free and at a cost.\nYou can get a free FICO® Score from hundreds of financial services companies, including banks, credit unions, credit card issuers and credit counselors that participate in the FICO® Score Open Access program and offer free scores to customers.\nFor example, if you sign up for a free credit score from Experian, you'll get a free FICO® Score 8 along with a copy of your credit report. Unlike some services that only track and show you your score, you'll then be able to review the underlying information (the credit report) that led to the score. Signing up for the Experian CreditWorksSM Premium program will provide access to your base FICO® Score 8 as well as your FICO® Score 2, FICO® Auto Score 2 and FICO® Bankcard Score 2.\nFICO® also sells scores on myFICO.com and authorizes \"FICO® Score retailers.\" These companies may offer free or paid access to FICO® Scores to consumers, and sometimes include additional products or services with your score.\nChecking with your bank or current credit card issuers is another option you may have. For example, American Express cardholders can get a FICO® Score 8 based on their Experian credit report and Citi cardholders can get a FICO® Bankcard Score 8 based on their Equifax credit report. END
