Possible Free FICO Score w/ 15-Minute Lesson
Here is a potentially free FICO score and report for students that are willing to endure a 15-minute spiel, but it appears to be limited to the first 5,000 people. I’m running behind on a project, so let me know if it works 
Thanks TK.
We’ve arranged with the Fair Isaac Corporation to pick up the tab on the first 5000 students who want to check their credit score. That’s right. It’s absolutely free.
So enter your info below to start. We’ll take you through a 15 minute tutorial on credit basics, credit cards, and building your credit. Once you’ve completed this 15 minute lesson, you’ll receive a free code and a link to MyFICO.com. Once you’re there, drop the code into the discount box and save yourself the $15.95.
If this expires, don’t miss the other ways you can get a free credit report.

thanks jon, worked for me.

Thanks..it worked. It only took me 2-3 minutes. Questions were too easy as it was all common sense.
My score: 719

It worked; thanks!
I’m amazed at how high my credit score was: 723 and I have no history except a credit card I got 9 months ago (and even with a recent hard credit pull).

Just did my wife’s and her score is 782. I guess the mortage should be under her name. (we are shopping for a house). Its good to have this information. Now we know that we can expect around 5.811% or slightly higher, But not more than 6%.

It didn’t work for me.
The post blog you linked is for “credit reports” not credit scores.

One way to get free credit score is to apply for mortgage preapproval. I did it with countrywide over the phone and gave me mine and my wife’s credit scores in 10 minutes and emailed me the preapproval letter as a PDF.
However this trick will result in a “hard” query on your credit report. It does lower your credit score by couple of points for next few months.

I guess it’s over. (Maybe not?) I’m glad some people were able to get in on it.
March 30th, 2007 at 9:23 am
It worked for me, try using code VC3794.
March 30th, 2007 at 9:53 am
yes, use VC3794 and it works fine
March 30th, 2007 at 11:09 am
VC3794 doesn’t work either. Thanks Jonathan anyways.
March 30th, 2007 at 12:09 pm
The vc3794 code worked for me about an hour ago (strangely the code that was generated when I tried last night did not work) and I was delighted with the results: Fico of 779- not bad for a degenerate, tax-evading pizza delivery guy like myself…
cheers!

Good news, maybe. If you (use code VC9743) you should be able to get a free FICO score. I couldn’t get through because my history is too short, but it seemed to work other than that.
