Finally, a way to see your credit score for free

… but only if you’re Canadian. And have a PC Financial Mastercard.

Maybe I’ve been out of the loop for a while, or maybe I didn’t research hard enough, but I just found out that through my PC Financial Mastercard, they are offering a 30-day trial called Credit Alert where I can view my credit score & report (and have my credit files monitored every business days at both Equifax and Trans Union). After the trial, it’s $14.99/month … so as long as I remember to cancel my subscription to it before the 30 days are up, it looks like I’d be good to go!

I know that some of my PF friends in the U.S. were talking about a 30-day trial membership to monitor their scores, so I’m really glad Canadians have the opportunity to do the same as well.

I think I’m going to try this out in the fall, because I just recently checked my credit score. And while I’m dying to know what it is now, I doubt it’s changed all that much in the course of 3 months. Plus, it’s not like I’m going to need to start really monitoring my credit score for at least another year. Just as long as I pay all my bills on time, and don’t open/close any accounts, my number should only go up from here.

I know this kinda sounds like a sponsored post, but it’s not. I just really really like PC Financial, and all of the services they have to offer. I always recommend that people switch from their banks over to PC for free unlimited transactions with their chequing accounts, free cheques, as well as a 4% interest rate on their Interest Plus savings account. I just wish their GIC rates were comparable to those of Outlook Financial … and I also wish they had a referral program like ING does, so I can make some $$ for all the free advertising I’m giving them … but no bank is perfect, I guess. :)

So what are you waiting for? Go switch!

   [...] Also, for those Canadians out there who want a way to check your credit score for free (I haven’t done this yet, but know that it works), please refer to a previous post I wrote last year, called Finally, a way to see your credit score for free. [...]
