The following post in our Reader Question series is an actual user submitted question. To maintain the integrity of the original question, we do not edit or change reader questions in any way.

Q: I have 2 credit cards. my husband has 3 credit cards and we both have ATM cards. We need the family plan?

A: Trusted ID's family plan is the best option to protect your identity and that of your husband. Trusted ID does not only monitor your credit cards, as you point out above, but it also provides a number of other very important features including:

  • Monitoring of the Internet and public records for suspicious activity related to your personal information
  • Opt out from pre-approved offers of credit
  • Up to $1,000,000 in identity theft insurance
  • The exclusive Credit Lock service which allows you to process a credit freeze on your credit reports directly from Trusted ID's web interface

NextAdvisor.com visitors receive an exclusive 15% discount, so the family plan is just $161.49 per year and includes a 30 day free trial. Trusted ID's family plan also covers any other relatives that live in your home, like children and elderly parents.

    In case the reader was wondering whether they had to get the family plan in order to have both her and her husband covered, the answer is yes – you need to get the family plan. The individual plan only covers one person regardless of whether you are married or not.

    Great idea, but will this work over the long run?
