Additional details:

  • Part of your updated free membership will include $25,000 of Identity Theft Insurance (New York residents can review this summary description of benefits). Additionally, this coverage will be available to you until you cancel your free credit membership or upgrade to the $1,000,000 Identity Theft Insurance. If the coverage you have today is higher than the new coverage in the updated experience, please refer to the section below.   
  • If you were originally opted-in to text message (SMS) alerts, we will be opting you out automatically as we transition you over to the updated experience. If you’d like to opt back in, you can do so under the “Settings” and “Notifications” tab located in the menu. 

 

Your current membership may have had access to the following features below, however those will not be included in the updated experience.

Please review them carefully.

TransUnion Credit Lock

The TransUnion Credit Lock feature will be deactivated once your account is transitioned to the updated experience. Until then, you’ll still have access to this feature. If you have a TransUnion Credit Lock in place at the time of your transition, it will remain locked until you remove it. Once you remove your Credit Lock, you will still be able to place a credit freeze at no cost on your account, which will also block lenders from checking your report to open an account. You can always manage your free credit freeze through TransUnion. Click here to learn more about freezing your credit.

 

Equifax Credit Lock

The Equifax Credit Lock feature will be deactivated by 1/31/2025 but you will still have access to it until then. If you have an active lock on your Equifax credit file at the time of deactivation, it will remain locked for your protection until you replace it with a credit freeze on Equifax’s website. You can also call their customer support team at (888) 378-4329.

 

CreditCompassTM (Score goal setting)

CreditCompassTM will be going away, but you’ll still have access to similar credit health insights and tools.

 

Score Simulator

Score Simulator will be going away, but a similar educational tool will only be available for premium accounts.

 

$1,000,000 Identity Theft Insurance

  • This will now only be available for premium accounts.

  • If you had the $1,000,000 Identity Theft Insurance, your policy coverage will end when your account is transitioned to the updated experience. You will have 120 days to file a claim for any incident that happened while you were protected under that coverage.

  • We will be providing coverage as part of the updated experience, but at a reduced amount of $25,000 until you cancel your current membership or upgrade your membership. You will be able to upgrade your membership once you are transitioned to the updated experience.
