I always wondered if anybody did this.. I feel "iffy" about giving them my social, although im sure its 100% safe.. its just me being picky lol
At least in my case they were very conservative or just pushing certain cards. I did it and they offered me the venture and some below average cards. The DiscoverIt, AMEX BCE, Chase Freedom, OR CSP didn't show up and I got all of those shortly after I did the creditcards.com thing. I'd take their suggestions with a grain of salt.
I been using it and nothing bad happen. Seems legit 
I am the same way. I had the same fear about the site.
PS: I have never applied through their recommendations though!

I found the exclusive offers to be accurate in my case. I was prequalified for 3 different AMEX cards (I apped for and got the BCP). Those were listed as "exclusive offers." Simmons Visa, and A few Cap One cards, including the Venture were also offered as additional choices. I did not get offered First Premiere cards. The offers were also different the first couple of times I tried the site, as I DID get the FP offers (and not as many Prime) until my score went above a 700.
That being said, it is a soft pull, is not guarenteed, and there have been many that have not had the desired results. If you want to app anyway, they do offer different sign up bonuses than are available elsewhere. Since I was already going to pull the trigger on AMEX, it made sense to try it through this site.
So, YMMV, if you do it, go for one of the exclusive/ top offers, and know that there is no guarentee. If you expect it to be a real soft pull, I would think you would need to use your social. I was nervous, too, but those nerves seem to be unfounded so far. For me it was worth getting my BCP.
I get various Amex's and Capones with FP thrown in for kicks.

I was slightly offended.
I feel your pain brother. I thought I would at least get offered the DiscoverIt card. Like I said I think they are ultra conservative on their reccomendations.
