Anyone receive such letters from MBNA? They recently raised my credit limit and today I received this letter. I logged onto my mbna account directly and didn't see anything related to this. I'm not one bit interested in this and it smells like another phishing scam, but somehow it knows my full name and has the last 4 digits of my cc#.

Re: Your account ending in XXXX.
Dear XXXXX XXXXXX,
At MBNA, protecting our customers from fraud is our top priority. As a valued customer, we would like to provide you with a complimentary credit report, which includes your personalized credit score. Simply click www.mbnaprivacyassist.com/yourreport. Registration only takes a minute.
Your credit report gives you in-depth credit information and even lets you compare your credit score to the national average. It includes:
Personalized score National ranking Personal directory of creditors Personal advice on credit score Positive/negative factors analysis
If you're thinking about making any large purchases (auto or home), this is the score lenders use to measure your credit risk -- the higher the score, the more likely you'll be approved or offered a lower interest rate.
Your informative and complete credit report and score is one more way we actively support your account with ongoing safety and security. This "thank you" credit report is being provided to you free of charge for being a valued MBNA cardholder.
