Reviews for Credit Sesame: Grow your score

This isn’t to help you improve your credit – it’s a mall for credit card companies to bait you. I’ve paid off several thousand dollars in credit card debt and personal loans, and for the first time have good credit. This app is telling me to take out MORE cards (like the several I have […]

This app is unbelievably weird. I used this app for aproximately 8 weeks. logging into it about once a week to monitor my score and credit options. Then one week I tried to login as usual with my passcode # and a “Your session has timed out” error message appeared. So I tried several more […]

My credit score jumped over 60 points in the first month. I am absolutely ecstatic about this app, wonderfully made, easily understood, easy to use and navigate and most important of all in my opinion, it does what it says, it raises your credit score not only by 1/2pts, but a substantial amount that matters […]

Been using Credit Sesame for just under a year. Overall it is a decent app and has numerous tools to help guide you towards financial freedom. HOWEVER, I have not been able to link it to any other app such as PayPal, venmo, cash app, klover, money lion, western union… I can go on & […]

I’d like more to date credit scores from all three credit bureau’s. Make them clearer and show the specific differences in the credit reports. What stands out more between the different bureau’s. Meaning, what creditor reports that are not on all three and highlight those specific items. That would be helpful. During the day, there […]

Credit Sesame is helpful at keeping track of your credit score for free. It also gives you advice on how to get that score up really quick. Like 50 points in 1 day(that’s not typical but is definitely possible). I love that this app gives you lots of options as well as shows you examples […]

It’s great that we get a transunion credit score. I understand your marketing strategy cuz you got to make some kind of profit. Gave us one credit score for you if you want the other two you got to pay for it + any other services. At least you provide one credit score which better […]

This app is easy to use and gives me an overview of my credit history. However, it is only updated once a month (unless I opt for the up-to-date information but there is a fee for that service). Can’t wait for next month’s credit score to come out since I sold a house and no […]

It looks organized with all the information I need in one app. My issue though is I signed up for the free trial expecting to fully start paying the $10/mo for all 3 scores updated daily. I couldn’t view any of the scores except the free one during this trial. I had to “convert my […]

This app is just an advertisement for credit cards. The “tips” provided to improve your credit score are misguided as they only ever suggest using loans to pay off credit card debt and opening more credit cards to lower your limit. If you are truly trying to better your credit situation and gain wealth, Credit […]

I loved the app until you updated it. Now it is no longer compatible with my device and you won’t allow one to sign in with the older app. I understand “security” but how dumb to start shutting out users with older devices. I refuse to have to get a new device in order to […]

I have been using other apps for checking my credit so I wanted to give this a shot. It only sees one credit bureau and the rest is “potential” credit score if you sign up for all of the products they are selling. It’s mostly ads instead of information. Other apps look at 2 bureaus […]

Used to like this app. Had an issue where one of my cards reported as overdraft, and it was not. Checked other apps and with the credit bureau. All matched and correct except Credit Sesame. That was not the final straw. When I reached out to Credit Sesame, they refused to look at their own […]

The app is great overall. It helps me track my credit and gives good suggestions. My only issue is that it does not update the payment history at all really. Says I have 3 late payments and one collection. I have not had a collection for quite some time. paid in full actually. They also […]

These credit-helping apps are wonderful if you’re trying to get your credit back together; that was my case. But just know, they don’t fix your credit, they guide you through with all of the info you need, basically, how to figure it out yourself. After you get your credit situated (and you know your new […]

I love this app. It tells you your current credit score, shows you your credit report, offers credit cards and loan suggestions, tells you how to improve your score based on your specific info, gives credit alerts, shows all your current accounts and your balances and any collections or past due accounts. All for free, […]

Never works. I constantly get notifications (at least one a week) but can never log in to check them or get updates on my score. Great idea and helpful when I can log in, but I can RARELY log in. Also, they’re going to try to get you to sign up for “affiliate” credit cards, […]

Fairly easy to use. I like the tips they give, that I might consider. Word of caution, don’t jump at the credit cards too quickly. It may be a good option, may not, it’syour credit. their job is to recomend. The card choices are also based on the kickback to CS. That doesn’t make it […]

So much for ‘no fees and surprises.’ Credit Sesame is now forcing a monthly fee of $9.99 if you spend less than $1000 per billing period with them. I never agreed to this, and they are ignoring my requests to close my account. So, beware! They will hold your money hostage. Their app and website […]

Great tool for building and controlling your credit. I started out in January 22′ with a 458 credit score. Using this and other company’s tools I now have a 640 score; in 6 months!!! I had no idea what a secured credit card was. After continuously being denied for traditional credit cards, and reading what […]
