That $35 credit monitoring subscription I canceled after 2 months
I signed up for one of those premium credit monitoring services back in 2021 (thought it would catch fraud faster), and it cost me $35 a month for basically nothing I couldn't get for free. Has anyone else paid for something like this and realized it wasn't worth it?

@jason958 right? Turns out my bank's free credit tracker was already doing the same thing, just without the fancy bill. Canceled that thing faster than I signed up.

Did you ever find out if the free services like Credit Karma or the ones from your bank would have caught the same things just as fast? I've always wondered if the paid ones have actual real-time alerts or if they're just using the same data sources that the free ones access. That $35 monthly hit adds up quick when it's not giving you anything extra.
