Quizzle

Eyisila — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 19:17:34 GMT

Didn't really know where to put this, so mods please feel free to move it to the correct forum. I just thought that I would share an email I just got from Quizzle. I know they provide FAKO scores based off of EQ but I thought this was pretty neat and an alternative to those who do not subscribe to ScoreWatch or something like it. I don't know if I am supposed to put items like this on a forum, and if I have made a mistake please feel free to delete this thread, moderators.

I hope the information comes through right.

Exclusive Upgrade: Free Credit Monitoring

Great news! Because you're a loyal member of the Quizzle community, you have been selected to receive free credit monitoring in Quizzle. This 24/7 free service helps you stay on top of changes to your Equifax® credit report and gives you peace of mind that your credit is always protected.

Free credit monitoring:

Helps you stay on top of your credit by alerting you to past due payments, new credit card and loan accounts, and credit inquiries
Helps eliminate stressors associated with identity theft and fraud by alerting you to questionable activity early on
Gives you peace of mind knowing that your credit is being monitored 24/7

What's the catch?

That's the best part - there isn't one. This service is available to you at no extra cost - no strings attached and no credit card required. It's truly free for as long as you stay enrolled in the program.

Oh my, not only is this the correct place, this is great news. Have to go log into my Quizzle account and see if I have something similar, I'd mostly given up on that service.

Thanks for the heads up!

Heh, well guess they're on VS 3.0 now which is handy to know, though one data pull every 6 months is still so behind the times.

Mine was free . Sorry to hear about yours. I am definitely not a Pro subscriber. I use it for the free and on the free. The only thing I pay for is MyFico EQ ScoreWatch.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. But, I will not be subscribing. I just finally cancelled their free service as it was not only slow, but I would receive multiple alerts (very old and late) for the same thing, once a week it seemed.

Mine was free too. I wonder if it's determined by how long a person has been using the service...

How long have you used it? I signed up over 2 years ago but never really did much with it other than refresh the report when it was available.

For the record i went to quizzle and its 11 bucks for the credit monitoring, i think it may be open only to new applicants?

Hrm, definitely some sort of promotional tiering going on.

That's interesting - changed on me:

Only $10 a month

Either they're a little confused on this launch, there's a bug in the system, or they're really lost when it comes to user marketing.

To me it looks like its marketing for people to sign up with their service. I will stick with SW here for now for my fico score credit monitoring for right now.

Yes, but when you advertise $8/mo to me and I don't bite, when I see $10/mo I'm suddenly going to be so giddy as to sign up? Color me confused as to their thinking with this service: given the fact that CK and CS both offer free monitoring, I can't imagine why Quizzle thinks people will pay for similar on EQ only. Scorewatch at least differentiates on being a FICO score vs. the Vantage 3.0 Quizzle now appears to be peddling.

Quizzle's getting their butts kicked in this market, and only digging their hole deeper from the looks of it or they expect consumers to be throughly ignorant... well...

If its 100% free, I wonder why they just don't provide the service instead of having to click for something

Re: Quizzle

This is definately a selective offer, but not sure how they are determining. I signed both myself and my wife up at the same time a few months ago. I received the offer for free credit monitoring and my wife did not.

I've had it for somewhere around 12-18 months.
