Free Credit Monitoring From Target and ProtectMyID

Target wants to help protect their customers following their recent data breach. Head over to creditmonitoring.target.com for a free year of credit monitoring through ProtectMyID. It's been recommended by credit experts to accept the free offer, however type the address into your web browser and do not click the link directly from any email or website (including here) to be sure that the site is correct.

I already have an account with ProtectMyID through my AAA membership. It is a great service that will email you anytime something changes on your credit report.

The account provided through Target will include one year of monitoring. The account provided with AAA will include monitoring as long as you have AAA. I'm not sure about other differences because I know ProtectMyID offers different levels of protection.

Free Identity Protection for AAA Members

I've talked about why I encourage everyone to join AAA, but now there's another great benefit for all members of the auto club. Free basic credit monitoring with no catch. For a monthly fee you can add premium features such as theft insurance.

Enrolling in Identity Theft Monitoring is a critical step to help protect your identity. ProtectMyID® Essential, offered free to AAA members and associate members age 18 and older, provides Identity Theft Monitoring through daily monitoring of your Experian® credit report.
