Do you give out your SSN on offers?

I have used it for credit monitoring services and haven't had any problems. I wouldn't be throwing it around to just anyone though.

I only give out my SSN when absolutely necessary, such as to an employer, or other situations when tax issues might come up. That's my standing policy. Obviously, there are some situations when you must give out your SSN, such as when you earn above a certain threshold at offer sites, survey sites, etc.  Otherwise, I would not do it. 

I AM NOT giving out my Social Security Number and I AM NOT giving out my cell phone number EITHER!!

Because my cell phone is for ME and for me only, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. I pay for the minutres. It is Trac phone, with excellent coverage, and excellent clarity. It has saved me a few times. NOBODY has the number. NOBODY needs the number.

Yes I would love to take advantage of the current offers on FC, where they text you the PIN, or CODE and you enter it to complete the offer, and then hopefully you would get the credit. If I would have done that I could have cshed out again, but I couldn't.

I'll just wait till May and cash out again. 

I think we are in agreement.  I only give out SSN when absolutely necessary.  Not for offers, but only when the $600.00 threshold is reached, to employers, and other times when absolutely necessary.  Otherwise, I don't give it out.

I only gave my SSN for the Identity Gaurd offer.  But I pretty much agree with everyone else on this topic, I would not feel comfortable giving it out for just any offers.  As far as the identity theft, I don't really think anyone would want to be me anyway..lol.. They wouldn't get very far, I am actually trying to improve my credit now..

it's definitely NOT a good idea to be giving out your social to random internet sites!
