No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this?
I believe that you have to do this with each CRA individually, it may cost a few bucks as well....
Replying with the answer to my own thread.........nice

It kinda depends upon the level of protection you are seeking.
There are various types and levels of protection that a consumer can seek. The most basic is simply an initial fraud alert, which remains for 90 days and just includes a statement of alert in your CR, notifying others to be aware of potential problems. Initial fraud alerts can be upgraded to extended fraud alerts should issues of identity theft be supported by a police report. Both initial and extended fraud alerts are covered under the FCRA, and are free.
If you desire to impose some type of so-called "freeze" on your credit report, those provisions are not part of the FCRA, but rather based on state statutes and/or CRA procedures.
They usually incur a fee.
What are you trying to "freeze?"
