Walmart unable to provide free TU FICO due to security freeze

[Charger12]

So I currently have Barclays and receive my updated FICO every so often. Today I went to enroll in e statements for my Walmart card and sign up for their free FICO as well and received a message that they are unable to provide my FICO due to my security freeze. No big deal I'll stick with Barclays as I am not removing the freeze. But does anyone know why Barclays would be able to provide the FICO through the freeze and not Walmart? As I understand they both pull TU. Thanks

Why would you freeze TU?

you just have to unfreeze to sign up.

 

then you can re-freeze and they can get your score each month.

 

but seriously, why would you ever freeze TU????

Yeah kind of already knew that. I'm frozen across the board though have been for years. Only unfreeze when needed. Was just more so out of curiosity why one could provide the FICO and the other couldn't. Don't need the Walmart FICO though, will stick to Barclays.
