I find these credit card supplied scores to be 30-60 points higher than actual. perhaps it's their way to make you fell better about using their cards more.

From what I've read there really are a lot of different scores and weights that creditors can use to determine credit worthiness depending on their priorities.

A while ago I was registered through the AMEX credit monitoring service. They used some sort of "PLUS" (?) score I think it was called as a fake FICO. It just makes the customer feel good about having some stupid kind of meaningless number.
