    Not unless you actually paid for the subscription at some point....

    I got my second free trial recently and they just sent me a third free 30 day trial. I have argued with them about policies and as a lot of people have said the same thing (long wait times, no real way of checking report after 10 PM limited customer services etc) so when i left and they changed a few things they sent me a free invite back. However i wont be staying with them until they fix the overnight issue.

    In regards to your issue, is it to do with checking in case someone has been stealing your identity? If that is the case, don't be a tightass and pay the freaking fiver or whatever it is and check.

    hi, iv found that if u make a simple spelling mistake in ur name it allows you another free trial and you still get ur credit report.

    i found out accidently, dodgy keyboard lol

    Edit: use a different credit/debit card
