It is a FAKO but it will let you know of changes on TU only.

Not true. Depends on the state.

I have both CreditSesame and CreditKarma and don't find either to be particularly useful except for generating a FAKO score. I am happy with CitiIdentityMonitor for now because it offers a more comprehensive look at all 3 bureaus. Also, there is a link somewhere on the forums to get it for only $5/month (search for identity monitor in the credit cards section).

Wow, thanks for the links. It must have taken you a long time to dig them all up... too bad we r not talking about the same thing... first of all, in most of the links u sent me u could see that the deal was dead here... u just had to read up until the end... also, we are not talking about the same service... this is a brand new service as of January 3rd 2012... I think it's yesterday right? again u just have to read the title of the thread and most importantly HERE

Thanks anyways! Hope you didn't waste too much of your day on that one!

i dont call helping others a waste of time, so no it wasnt a waste of time. (at least trying to help)

secondly my point wasnt that you were introducing creditkarma and that i was showimg you how others posted before you, my point was (and sorry for not being clear) that CreditKarma and credit scores etc. has already been discussed multiple times on this forum, and the way a thread works usually is, that whatever the title is then all posts that have to do with that title go there.

that being said, i was trying to tell you that you should post ur post in those threads being that this has to do with Credit Karma. also if you wouldve read the links before hand, espcially the one that you quoted back to me it says there
There are no more offers, so this deal is dead. However, to answer your question, CK offers a FAKO.
so you would know that its FAKO - which you werent sure in your post.

another thing which you werent clear about which is why i didnt realize that the title is a new thing that theyve come out with is that you only linked to the home page of credit karma and not to the link u sent me on the second post. i guess the title kinda slips the eye when u just read it credit karma and it doesnt say "NEW" or "new program" (which anyways should be in one of the linked threads i linked you too.

and your welcome, anyday! hope you didnt waste anytime reading any of the threads i linked you too, since they're irrelevant to Credit Karma!  :P

oh,and also dont forget that im out to get you, if you didnt realize.  ;)

even if the deal is up  jan/03 it doesn't justify a new topic on a day 2 later [nothing personal] cbs is a famous forum-bumping hunter on ddf

oh no don't worry i sure did read your post... it s just that how a new service from a known company does not deserve a new post... personally, as a DDF member I would not want to scroll down dozens of pages in old threads talking about old services in order to find a new service that came out yesterday... but that's just my humble opinion... btw - sorry i didn't write "new service" in the title  ;D

you have a point in the matter, that its very annoying to scroll through threads that have hundreds of posts. but thats a problem that DDF always had and not much to do about it [other than every second person opening a new thread].
another thing you can do, is find a thread that doesnt have so many posts and post there, like here or here and then you or people wont have that problem.

another option you have is, to learn how the search bar (or search option) works and you can find things much easier.
OR u can post ur search help question here :)

i hope this sums it up for you !

Thank you! Great summary! I am just throwing out suggestions but wouldn't it be a bit cleaner if there was another index within the main categories (i.e. Within credit cards, u would put rewards, applications, recon, etc...) of course it would still be a mess but more organized mess :) 2nd option would be that moderators close down or move duplicate threads like we see very often in other forums...

at ddf for some reason, everything related in any way to a previous thread should be posted on that thread even if your posting a new deal [in your case credit carma] since its regarding an issue with an existing thread it should be posted there,
so if the deal started jan/03, it doesnt deserve a new thread,
just tryin'ta tell ya how its in ddf, but its true that they should improve a little, sucha nice'n informative forum should not look like a 99cents store with goods spread and shattered ALL over the place,
