A: I'm not sure what protection service of credit card you are paying for, but most of our services identity theft protection top help protect your credit / debit card and bank account numbers for fraudulent use. Identity Guard Total protection®, Trusted ID and Lifelock will all monitor the Internet black market for a suspicious use of your credit / debit and bank account numbers and alert you if fraudulent activity is detected. The only caveat is that you must enter these numbers in their online interface once you register.
We particularly like Identity Guard for their protection against identity theft proactive and 3-bureau credit report monitoring. In addition, they offer NextAdvisor readers a free 30 day trial and 25% on the subscription price. When you sign up for Identity Guard you also get free credit scores, which are yours to keep even if you cancel during the trial period. All in all we think it is a very good deal, but if you want to take at look at other identity theft protection plans visit our comparison protection plan against identity theft .
