Thanks Janet. I guess I'll give the card a shot. Have you had any issues since giving them your ssn??

No I haven't and I check my reports pretty often and also have a fraud alert on my credit reports so I would know by now if someone had tried to use my info to open an account because they would have to contact me to do it.

which credit monitoring service do you use? I'm thinking that it would be a good thing to invest in. I already did the offer through experian a few years ago through m@&)*^%# so I can't repeat it sadly.

I dont use a monitoring service. I just added fraud alert to my reports and I check my reports each month through annualcreditreports website. You are only supposed to be able to see them once a year but 2 of the big ones let you check each month. I guess they haven't figured out a way to monitor it. TU does monitor and I can't ever check that one online anyways because of the fraud alert they won't ever let me do it online. I also use Suze Orman's FICO website and I get a discount for ordering my credit score each time. I do that anytime I have had major activity that would affect my score. HTH!

ahh good thing to know about being able to check more than once a year. I'll have to start trying those.
