my credit limit for the sake of improving my utilization ratio. (Assuming that a higher limit won’t result in higher spending, of course!) Since this is already an open line of credit, you won’t be establishing a new account, so it won’t harm your average account age. There WILL be a credit inquiry, but the effect of that will fade after a few months.contact globalworld.hacker AT GMAIL DOT COM

In reply to ocvagabond. Amex is showing FICO scores now, too. It's become a lot easier everywhere.

Discover Card shows your FICO credit score for free online and on statements (mine are digital).

In reply to TV. The free FICO score provided with some Barclays cards is obtained through TransUnion. Although the FICO scoring method used by TransUnion and its competitors is generally the same, each bureau maintains its own information on the individual. Thus, the score could be different because the information used to calculate the score is different.

The Barclay Arrival card lets me look at my FICO score for free. Is this the same FICO score that Chase looks at when they pull my credit from Experian?
