I kept looking for the catch but there doesn't appear to be one. I can vouch for the service…sounded too good to be true, but CreditKarma is for real.

I was looking for a way to find my score without paying, spam or applying for more credit. It is a boost for the ego even if it might not be 100% accurate. Thanks for the tip.

I don't see any strings or added spam from signing up. I am glad wisebread.com posted about it. I’ve used it to keep tabs on my score. I don’t see any strings or added spam from signing up.

I went to the site to find out my credit score -- pretty pleased with 760! Not sure how to increase, I have no-balance credit cards, no debt, and probably won't have any debt until we buy a house. Is there any way to continually build credit without acquiring debt? Thanks for posting this. I went to the site to find out my credit score — pretty pleased with 760!

About a week ago we went to get a pre-qualification for a mortgage and they ran our official credit scores. Ry's was really close, it was about 6 points higher (the Karma score) than his actual number. Mine was a little farther off but also pretty good: the Karma score was about 10 points lower. So it isn't 100% accurate, but "pretty darn close" :) We signed up a few months ago but were always wondering how accurate it really was.
