People on the myfico forums were reporting that Barclays told them it's not a glitch, that the Sallie Mae card no longer has access to that feature. Unfortunate, but at least you still do have a way in.

Interesting, especially considering the email I received was specifically for my Sallie Mae card (had the last 4 digits and picture of Sallie Mae CC)

I have the Priceline and Sallie Mae cards. I used to see my credit score at https://www.barclaycardus.com/servicing/ficoScore or https://www.barclaycardus.com/servicing/score but it's gone now. Oh well.

My score is still from 12/19/13 (US Air card). Anyone know how often Barclays will show an updated score? I tried searching their site for the info but came up empty.
TIA

Mine is last updated since 1/4/2014. I know it has something to do with activity on your card, as when I didn't use it for two weeks, it said that I needed transactions in order to show my Fico score. Maybe that's it?

I got that message in December. I used the card and it became available on 12/19. No updates since then despite recent usage.

Interestingly, I just noticed when logging in today that Discover is now providing a FICO score. It's timely, as I am about 20 days through the $4.95 myfico.com trial to see how my score varies as a I accumulate debt, after paying in advance to get the balances to $0 before starting the trial.
My myfico score started at 815 and is down to 792 as a full month's worth of charges have now accumulated on all three regularly-used cards.
Discover? "your FICO® Credit Score is 850"
myfico.com is Equifax, and Discover is Transunion, but color me skeptical - real fico's from a mortgage about 4 years ago were within 15 points. And I'm not sure 850 is even possible.

But which Discover card do you have? Reports so far have been that you get FICO with the Discover IT card, but not with the Discover MORE card (which is what the original Discover card has typically morphed into for those who've had it for ages).

--Disregard above because evidently the More now has it.
