In that case, are you still happy having paid for ProtectMyID? The new Great Equalizer is the SEND button.

I guess I'll wait a bit and try to sign up again if the email doesn't arrive. I have been checking my spam folder as well as my inbox, but frankly I don't know what to look for, who the message will be from, etc. I finally gave up and signed up for Experian's ProtectMyID, not because of a particular preference for Experian but because I have so much confidence in USAA and that is what they are offering. I went through the Equifax sign-up procedure a second time, got my email after about two hours, and have successfully activated my account. The new Great Equalizer is the SEND button.
