I don't think credit karma gives your real fico score. You can sign up for equifax credit monitor which is some 15 dollars a month and they give you ur real fico score. Cancel within 30 days and it's free. Just keep in mind you can't cancel online you have to call.

you can get for $1.00 a 30 day trial from Amex. You must cancel it before 30 days or they will charge you the full amount. You can find info on the forum.

I agree.
I use it to get a rough idea.... but when I wanna see the true FICO, I'd sing up for a free trial and cancel

That would be a question for the "is it ethical" thread.

I did not see anything in either thread that mentions always getting CS from Amex for free. Do I need better glasses?

On the web you can find offers Amex offers $7.00 service or something like that amount.
