Free FICO score via Barclays (US MC version)
Go figure. It's not a hard pull -- Barclays is simply sharing the most recent information provided to them by TransUnion. The reason I am posting this here is that it seems that we -- USAirways Barclays MasterCard holders -- don't see this when we log-in however it is we usually log-in.
Instead, we need to use this link.
By the way, I saw this on a few of the "points blogs" and then went through comments to learn why I wasn't seeing it through normal Barclays activity. I don't want people to think that wittingly or not I am sending folks to a bogus landing page. Google around and check these blogs for yourself it you want to be sure that this is for real.
Whoops -- didn't look closely enough at link. There was a referral ID on it, as per comment by SFOPhD (below #13, if my links are no longer trustworthy
). I think it is gone now.

ETA: Weirdly, I can't seem to get to that page without the link, even though I can clearly see that it's supposed to be under Tools and Education.

Thanks, Biggie Fries. ^
One word of caution: this FICO score (based on Trans Union data) might not be the Trans Union-based FICO score your lender gets or uses. I recently applied for a credit-line increase from two credit card companies within a day of each other. They both sent me a letter telling me that they got my credit data from Trans Union -- and the two FICO scores differed by 58 points.

Here is another link (from a different FT thread):
https://www.barclaycardus.com/servic...ction=%2Fscore
The one on the OP has a referral ID on it that I don't recognize. I'm sure the OP did not intend to sneak anything by us, but I'm providing this one in case people would feel more comfortable.

If it is any comfort, I have used it and it is legit. Of course, none of you know me anyway and may not take my word. But seriously, it is legit.
