Edit: 11/26/08-I’ve received an email that someone just tried to sign up, and apparently they have reached the 10,000 limit and the offer is now expired. Sorry if you missed it!
MSN Money in partnership with Experian and the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) are “working to raise awareness about the importance of credit monitoring” by giving away 10,000 free one-year memberships to Experian’s Triple Advantage service. You will not need to enter a credit card number to take advantage of this offer, so you will not have to worry about them charging you after the free year is up.
From the MSN article:
Triple Advantage offers consumers daily monitoring of their credit reports at all three national credit-reporting companies and alerts them if key changes are detected. You also get unlimited access to your Experian credit reports and Experian PLUS credit score.
To sign up directly for the credit-monitoring-service giveaway, visit http://www.money-promotions.com/. You’ll be asked to enter an e-mail address only; replies to Hotmail and Live.com accounts may take several hours. If you use gmail, be sure to check your spam folder.
MSN Money also offers credit professionals available for questions you may have after reviewing your report.
To post your question for a professional credit counselor, visit the Ask A Credit Counselor message board on MSN Money.
You must be one of the 1st 10,000 to sign up in order to take advantage of this free offer. If you are interested, do it soon, as I am sure they will reach the limit quickly-probably within a day or so.

MSN was doing a positive thing by creating this giveaway, because it would serve to bring about much thinking by people as to what the condition of their credit is. Publicizing the concept of what Experian does in a public way such as this reminds individuals that they have a score which affects much of what they can purchase or rent.

@Armen- I have to agree- I think it was great for MSN to do this; and hopefully it served to “wake some people up” about their credit. Too bad it ended so quickly.
