It tracks your score for free. I've been using it for about a year now and have never paid a cent. I know that I sound like an ad for the site but it's the best *free* way to check your score. If anyone knows of others, or has used credit karma before, let me know! I use creditkarma.com to get my credit score. It tracks your score for free.

The only reason I keep track of my "score" is just for a general idea of how I am doing. Since my real score doesn't matter, I am happy with a FAKO score... and I just use the one at credit karma and consider it good enough. I know it's not the real thing. But it's free.

They may offer a "credit score" but unless it's listed as the FICO one, it will be based on a different scale, and not the number that most people are looking for. Funny I just posted about this myself ("buyer beware")! D'Oh! I paid for a score last year and it was not the FICO! So now I'm uber-careful.
