PUPTAC, HUCA. As mentioned, the system doesn't differentiate.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

freecreditreport.com is free Experian credit report every 30 days.

Is this a new thing?
What useful info does it include?

I know there is no score, but if this gives the same info the credit karma gives, just for EX, it could be very useful...

Try seeing if credit.com shows them on the experian info they give you.

Or churn the $1 experian trial and get the actual report.

Fake score, but real experian data about pulls and accounts IIRC.

Mine is 30 higher than what Amex gives as well

If a cc closed yesterday (I see statement online now), however CK report is still showing the prior balance (report was updated just now), does tht mean the statement may not be reported to CB's yet? I want to ensure EX is updated before i apply for a card, but if CK is a good measuring stick, ill wait a day or 2 before getting EX trial.

Basically my question is how long after a statement closes will the CR be updated.

It just hasn't updated yet.  There is no way to tell when it will report to EX from CK though.

IME, most of the time EX updates in 1-2 days, EQ a day or two later and TU up to a week from the statement closing.

Is this also based on CC issuer.

Not IME.

They report to all 3 the same day.  They tend to update in that order for me for all issuers.

TU has antiquated technology.
