I had a Washington Mutual credit card and the page actually let me view my score for free any time I wanted before Wamu went bankrupt. Do any other credit card companies offer this service? It was really useful.
Is there a credit card company that lets you view your credit score free?

No
And you probably were not viewing your true FICO score.
You have to pay to view your FICO score.

You are entitled to a free report annually, or anytime you are denied credit. As for your score, you usually have to pay for that. Be leary of people who claim to give it to you for free. You give them your social security number and they could provide you with a fake score. Only use reputable companies. Try http://www.freecreditreport.com for your report.

The score you were viewing wasn’t your real score anyway. It was an estimate. Anytime you go to order your “free credit report” do it from the credit bureaus themselves. That is the only way to get a real and true credit score. Any other company offering that isn’t giving you the real thing.
As far as other credit card companies that do that, I don’t know of any offhand. It never hurts to call around and ask. If WAMU did it then surely someone else is doing it too.
