Citi IdentityMonitor Discontinued effective 03/31/2015
I saw this when I logged out of my Citi IdentityMonitor account today:
This is quite unfortunate. It is a good monitoring service at only $4.95 a month.
Are there comparable services that others would recommend? I'm mostly concerned with keeping track of my accounts and inquiries as my travel hacking has me opening and closing lots of accounts.

That's very unfortunate indeed. Discover card gives you your true FICO, and the free credit karma/sesame services give you a big picture, but I'm not sure of a good replacement at that price point.

I've tried Credit Karma, but I find the interface unappealing and it's very ad driven and spammy . Not to mention, the scores it givesare questionable and are based on TU data and not EX. Any good alternatives ?
On the bright side, I received this letter in snail mail yesterday, and it did confirm that Citi does indeed have plans to provide free credit scores on credit card statements

I was pretty bummed about it too. Got something in snail mail from them that said important information about your account. Instantly knew before i opened it up. Great loss for $4.95/month.
