As the crazy holiday shopping season approaches, you know that you’ll be approached by store employees trying to get you to sign up for store credit cards for additional discounts. (Like 10% off is actually some big deal). They’ll need to check your credit and that new credit will result on a ding on your credit score
Instead – take this opportunity to make a SMART choice and learn what your credit score is! If you haven’t checked your credit score with Credit Sesame, you can do it totally free. Credit Sesame is REALLY FREE, there is NO credit card required! I personally use it every month. It’s fabulous!
