Triple Advantage (FreeCreditReport. com)

If you live in the US you surely are aware of their tacky advertisements. Anyway, I am aware that the free credit report is a teaser to their credit monitoring service, Triple Advantage.

Anyway, I was looking at Triple Advantage and it actually sounds like something I might be interested in. What are your opinions? Has it ever helped you? Is it worth the price? Are there other, similar credit monitoring services that are cheaper and/or provide more value?

www.creditkarma.com was recommended here just a few days ago by… I forget who. But I signed up, and I like it. it was totally free, tells me my credit score, and pulls from all 3 credit reports, all the time, for free.
