They all have slightly different info. I have a card that monitors Transunion, one that does Equifax and another that does Experian. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/equifax-breach-125-or-free-monitoring-for-you#post-2892713 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 15:56:51 +0000 LCTBQE 2892713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katsupgirl: ah good to know! Okay I’ll do it in that case :) I almost would do it regardless just to stick it to equifax anyway. Although as with any class action I’m sure the real winners here are the lawyers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/equifax-breach-125-or-free-monitoring-for-you#post-2892648 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 08:47:15 +0000 DesertDreams88 2892648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, 3 of my 4 credit cards monitor my credit score for me and I recently took the extra step of freezing my credit, so I opted for the money.</p> <p>Eta: Amazon Chase card, Bank of America, and CapitalOne. So if you have cards with those providers, I bet you have monitoring too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/equifax-breach-125-or-free-monitoring-for-you#post-2892641 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 07:46:50 +0000 katsupgirl 2892641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@l@lindseykaye: really quick and painless to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/equifax-breach-125-or-free-monitoring-for-you#post-2892639 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 07:42:33 +0000 katsupgirl 2892639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: you have to agree that you already have credit monitoring. They offer you free credit monitoring from all 3 credit bureaus or if you already have credit monitoring you can choose the money. You don’t have to submit anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/equifax-breach-125-or-free-monitoring-for-you#post-2892638 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 07:42:17 +0000 lindseykaye 2892638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I'm not sure about the details but if you have a credit card almost all of them offer some kind of free credit monitoring now as a part of their services, so nearly everyone already has this even if they don't know about it or use it.</p> <p>Who knows if we'll ever see the money, but for a potential $125 and like 2 minutes of my time, why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/equifax-breach-125-or-free-monitoring-for-you#post-2892635 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 07:27:02 +0000 gotkimchi 2892635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I heard that even something free like credit karma counts?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/equifax-breach-125-or-free-monitoring-for-you#post-2892632 Mon, 29 Jul 2019 07:13:43 +0000 LCTBQE 2892632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard the cash was a ruse as you already have to have credit monitoring to get it, is that true @katsupgirl: ? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/equifax-breach-125-or-free-monitoring-for-you#post-2892596 Sun, 28 Jul 2019 20:14:06 +0000 katsupgirl 2892596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did it!
