Update:

Daily pulls are available and you don't need a National City account to be eligible.

Linkage

Here are the promo codes:

766318 to enroll yourself
766319 to enroll you "and your spouse" (but i have a feeling this could be any second person)

This is by far the best deal I've seen for a bumpage-worthy credit pull service, especially if you're bumping for 2.

How to enroll 2 people:

It's definitely not intuitive.

Once you sign into the ncidentityprotect, go to Detection Tools...3-in-1 Credit Reports. Then click the first link on the right side:

"1. If you do not have a Credit Center user name and password, click here to register with TrueCredit."

You can then fill in your "spouse's" information to create a second True Credit account. Both accounts will be tied to the Nat City IP member ID.

Original Post:

This offer came with my latest National City Visa statement. Looks like you need to be a National City customer to be eligible. (Yet another reason to pick up a card from them in your next AOR.) They appear to be reselling TrueCredit - like Privacy Matters and Chase Identity Protection.

Phone number from the insert: 1.866.215.3473

Unlimited access to triple-bureau credit report. First 30 days - $1. Afterwards, $8.95/month or $14.95/month for "you and your spouse."

I started the service today and pulled 3-in-1 reports for me and Mrs. lhendricks92. I'm pretty confident I'll be able to pull another 2 tomorrow. If so, this deal is HOT. Can you say bumpage?

Enjoy.

PRIVACY WARNING
For a privacy protection service, they're pretty loose with private info. When you sign up, they mail you login info. The letter contains all information needed to log in. maria456 reports that she received her envelope unsealed. My (Zhentar) envelope was sealed, but it contained two sheets; I now have the log in information for a total stranger. I'm not sure how much information this would allow someone access to (credit reports require a seperate log in), but it doesn't exactly instill confidence in their security.

Key Bank has a similar deal, except there are no promo codes, and the sign up page doesn't mention any particular type of credit card.

$12.95/month for yourself
$17.95/month for you "and your spouse" Deal still good as of 6/30/2008
(30 day trial period for $1)

Key Bank Privacy Matters

Update from kittenmittens:

"Keybank has a paper shredder offer too but it's got a hand-crank. Electricity is for the weak! For Keybank the info comes through the mail but you can call a day or two after signing up and get your customer number."

Combining NatCity and Key Bank from ChumChurum:

"I was able to sign-up both for NatlCity Identity and KeyBank Privacy Matters. The trick is to sign up using two different people, e.g. NatlCity for husband and KeyBank for wife.

Once you have a Member ID, you can pull the credit of the other person. So:

KeyBank Member ID X (under wife's name):
- KeyBank Credit Report account for wife,
- KeyBank Credit Report account for husband,
NatlCity IP Member ID Y (under husband's name):
- NC IP account for wife,
- NC IP account for husband."

Note: Unconfirmed whether KeyBank and NatCity generate unique inquiries. If someone can confirm, feel free to update the QS.
Update: I can confirm that KeyBank and NatCity generate unique inquiries on EQ. However, KeyBank's inquiry is identical to tru3credit.com's on EQ. Not sure about TU yet.

I just sign up for their trials each time I want to check. Forget that stupid monthly fee.

But you have to put up with a monthly fee if you want to employe bumpage , lhendricks, Good post, I'll check it out. Please let me know if you are successful in daily pulls.

Looks like daily pulls are indeed available. Also, I don't think you actually need a National City account to be eligible.

Here are the promo codes:

766318 to enroll yourself
766319 to enroll you "and your spouse" (but i have a feeling this could be any second person)

I'll update the OP with this info.

This is by far the best deal I've seen for a bumpage-worthy credit pull service, especially if you're bumping for 2.

Great if it works, but it asks for
*National City credit
or debit card number

Also, it's not sure whether it allows daily pulls for the trial period. For instance, the AmE>< similar service does not, beyond that triple pull offered. Not that big deal, though, if you decide to keep this service for some time. Yup, about the cheapest bumpage available!

On signing up twice, does it require 2 NC accounts, or just 2 email addresses, 2 names, etc? Not expecting anyone to know at this point, though.

Any idea if they take other types of cards than Visa?

This deal looks very much alike to the keybank $9.95 with a complimentary docu shredder. Yoohoo!
Now it's only 8.95! Thanks!
