If you go to the Equifax website through ebates you can earn a 6% rebate for it. If you don't have an account at ebates I can get $5 for referring you at

(Of course, I have no doubt that if you searched "ebates" in the SPAM forum you'd find a conga line too.)
I did the service where I got 6 reports for $39.99. (I don't know if this package is still offered.) I didn't notice a huge impact when I opened a new Southwest Visa. Of course, the younger you are the more it could impact you too. I think alot has to do with how much of a balance you cycle too. I thought the site was helpful.
