I'm not opposed to the cost for graduate credit, and I'm not even opposed to using one of the big 3 for a graduate credit - but in that same price tier, there are just a million other options that give you a little more oomph.
Once upon a time, I'd considered their program that allows you to start your masters inside your bachelor's (for undergrad tuition price) but didn't because if I changed my mind, I wouldn't be able to use that credit elsewhere (I found time and time again grad credit restrictions on having already used that credit would exclude it).
In my opinion, if your undergrad is in something general, grad school should be more specific.
If your undergrad is from a noname school, grad school should be from a better name.
Since my undergrad was both general and noname, I picked a program that was both specific and highly regarded. (which cost more than I would have paid at the big 3 but it was a good match for me)
