Does anyone else link their CC accounts with CK?

Lol I mean, they have access to your credit report guys and gals--- come on... REALITY CHECK! Lmao
If you aren't comfy with linking accounts, then why even have CK. they have you SSN, etc.

There's really nothing CK can do other than help you with that extra information, provided you keep your 3 digit security code (which ONLY exists on your hardcopy credit card) to yourself.

Yes I have all 19 of my cards linked plus auto loan and mortgage. It's works great. Sometimes the cards seem to have issues linking (connection issues) but a couple of clicks and it's working again. Many of my cards are business and it's nice to see a snapshot of them in one place. It even shows AU on my Chase Ink cards. I'm not basing anything from what I see on the site but it's quicker than going to 6 or 7 bank sites. With some slight improvements it would be great.

True, but last time I checked none of my credit reports have full account numbers listed either.  Who knows what kind of security metrics CK is using either.  My brother does IT security for a nameless clothing retailer and hearing how "loose" account numbers are handled leaves me.....cautious.

Yeah, I mean... The reality is that your info is out there no matter what...
Just watch your reports like a HAWK!

I just started doing this, not all my accounts link up properly but it's a good way with one pane of glass to see all your balances.

Mine are linked.  But what I don't like is that you can't use special characters in your CK password.  For that matter, you can't use them for your GE accounts either.

There's a world of difference from someone having my credit report vs. someone having my bank account logins.

I have an excellent of what practices a financial has as a result of legal mandates; I have no such confidences in CreditKarma, or that they'd get it right for that matter either having worked in a number of PCI compliant environments myself including 3 lending institutions two of which everyone has heard of.  I'm willing to let USAA have my account information (but I was once on a project there which gives me some insight as to their security stringency), there's no way I'd ever do that with CK.
