FICO has been around much longer, but the VantageScore has grown increasingly more popular with lenders. Both models calculate scores ranging from 300 to 850, with anything above 670 considered &#8220;good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These scores are based on a variety of personal financial information, such as payment history, length of credit history, amount of debt, credit utilization, and types of credit in your name. Amounts owed and payment history are the two biggest factors, making up roughly 65% of your FICO score.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_230629\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/648\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-230629 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-1.56.27-PM.png\" alt=\"White background with black text and a rainbow circle showing percentages for calculating a FICO score\" width=\"750\" height=\"648\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-1.56.27-PM.png 1190w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-1.56.27-PM-300x259.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-1.56.27-PM-1024x885.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-13-at-1.56.27-PM-768x663.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: MyFICO.com<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>Additionally, each model has different versions that have changed over the years. So you will likely see numbers after the credit scoring model name that denote which version is being used, i.e., FICO Score 9 or VantageScore 3.0.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Credit_scoring_bureaus\">Credit scoring bureaus<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The information the scoring models use to decide your credit score comes from three main bureaus: <strong>TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian<\/strong>. These three bureaus collect financial information and share it with the scoring agencies to determine your credit score. Each bureau collects different pieces of information from financial institutions, but all three give a broad view of your overall credit history that helps determine your score.<\/p>\n<p>Since there are two main scoring models and three main scoring bureaus, it's likely you'll have different scores depending on where you check. Because of these differences, it's helpful to have multiple options for regularly checking your score. However, if you're wondering which score matters most, the majority of agencies will pull your FICO score when applying for financing (a home loan, car loan, credit card, etc.)<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Checking_Your_Credit_Report_and_Score_With_the_Bureaus\">Checking Your Credit Report and Score With the Bureaus<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can check your credit report <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/free-credit-score-check\/\" rel=\"noopener\">for free each week<\/a> with all three major credit bureaus. It's important to note that this does not give you a score; instead, it gives you a full credit report showing your open accounts, account history, personal details, etc. Regularly checking this information to ensure accuracy is vital in tracking and understanding your credit score. It also helps you notice any potential fraud that may have occurred.<\/p>\n<p>To get this free credit report, simply go to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.annualcreditreport.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">freecreditreport.com<\/a> and enter your information.

She and her husband homeschool their four kids and spend a lot of their time traveling and learning through experiences. Jenna discovered points and miles in 2020 when she was looking for a way to be able to afford more expensive trips for her family. Once she came across other moms who were points and miles pros, she took the leap and has been hooked ever since. Jenna and her family live in California and like to spend time visiting the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains and the Central California coast. You can also catch them at Disneyland as often as possible!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thetravelinghansens"],"url":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/author\/jennahansen\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157427"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157427\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":257429,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157427\/revisions\/257429"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157427"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=157427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
