Customer Support

Customer support with ID Shield consists of a FAQ section and their hotline number with emergency assistance offered 24/7/365. You can also get in touch with representatives for concerns, consultations or reports via their mobile app for Android or iOS devices. Offering a live chat feature would have also been good but the current means of providing customer support are more than satisfactory.

Membership Perks Program

Subscribing for a membership with ID Shield allows you to not only protect yourself from the threat of identity theft but also allows you to save money with their exclusive deals. ID Shield offers a membership perks program to help encourage people to sign up for a membership by partnering with certain establishments that would offer discounts or shopping codes that they can use.

Once you sign up with an ID Shield account, you would be given a link to the Member Perks Site where you can set up your account. Then you can browse the page for the brands you like and get reduced prices on gift cards, exclusive promo codes and more — all of which you can use in either your online or in-store purchases.

Even better, the more members are covered with your family plan, the bigger your annual savings that it could even cover the cost of the ID Shield membership.
