Want to check your credit score to start off the new year? Here’s a current coupon for real FICO scores and all other credit products at myFICO.com. Use the promotional code SURVEY30 to get 30% off and a FICO score for about $11, the best discount currently available:

The code is good until December 30th, 2009 (although try it as it may still work even after that date). As a backup, you can also get 26% off with the codes DECEMBER26 or 26UNTIL2010 until 12/31/09.
Finally, you can still use CPPSAVINGS for 20% off after these expire.
Experian no longer allows Fair Isaac to sell FICO scores to consumers at all, even though lenders still buy and use them. They sell their own FAKO (“FAKE-O”) version now. But since lenders almost always use real FICO scores in their decisions, those are the only ones you should pay for – if at all – in my opinion.
For the diligent, a cheaper alternative is to sign up for a free 30-day trial of ScoreWatch, which includes two free Equifax scores and reports. Just remember to cancel as soon as you grab those scores. You are allowed to cancel online, without having to even call in. As always, you can always request your credit reports (not scores) once every 12 months at AnnualCreditReport.com.
