Target is Offering Free Credit Monitoring for One Year

Everyone I know shopped at Target in the last year. And a lot of people I know were pretty concerned over the recent security breach, allowing hackers into your personal banking info. Target is trying to make good by offering anyone who shops Target a year of free credit monitoring through ProtectMyID, provided by Experian. You have until April 23rd, 2014 to get your free access code.

Target.com says:

In addition to a complimentary copy of their credit report, guests who sign up will receive daily credit monitoring, identity theft insurance (except where prohibited by law), and have access to personalized assistance from a highly trained Fraud Resolution Agent. Access to the Fraud Resolution Agent will continue even after other benefits of the initial one-year ProtectMyID membership expire. After 12 months, those who register have the option to continue their memberships at their own expense.

This ProtectMyID package includes the necessary tools guests need for credit monitoring and identity theft protection. It does not include Experian credit score or reports from Equifax and TransUnion. When visiting the enrollment site, guests will have the option to purchase these additional products at their own expense if they choose, but are not required to purchase a credit score to receive the benefits of credit monitoring and identity theft protection.
