and also only works by giving them access to your checking account. anyone who uses credit cards to pay bills doesnt get a boost. doesnt seem worth losing the points over, id rather have 2% off my bills (unless the boost had a material impact on a mortgage rate, but then you would have to pay your bills for years with checking, hoping boost is still around.)

If you have credit cards, you’re already building credit so you won’t need it.

That’s what I just said. If you already have credit, you won’t need the Credit Boost of letting them see your checking account. It’s meant for people who don’t have credit.
But this is also far from perfect. If times are tough or you’re just irresponsible, you’re going to pay your utility bills because of the extreme inconvenience of having your utilities cut off but you may not pay your phone bills.
