If anyone here has Credit Karma: get off it. Use free monitoring services from Discover/Chase/Experian/etc.

  if you're a chase/amex/discover customer, by all means use their free service. I particularly like the amex one that lets you do hypothetical projections. I can't recommend experian though. I just made an account with them out of curiosity, and since then I have received emails from them pretty much every day trying to upsell me on their (worthless, as far as I can tell) "premium" features. the website itself is full of dark patterns trying to make the same upsell.

    You should be able to at least opt out of daily emails from Experian. Try going into your profile's communication preferences and opting out?

      the emails aren't such a big deal. they just go into my "promotions" folder that I rarely look at. I still find their web UX pretty bad. all kinds of buttons and tabs that just send you to a paywall. the credit card companies also use their websites to try to get me to sign up for more of their credit cards, but they're a little more respectful about it. I personally just hate the style of web design where some UI elements lead to a paywall and others don't, with no clear signal before you click through.
