Sorry Folks, looks like they stopped giving out codes. Those that have one, I suggest you apply it soon. It was great while it lasted. I'm just glad that I was able to get another year.

"As of September 14th, 2015, we will no longer be offering the 12 month free identity protection to Home Depot consumers who may or may not be impacted by the breach that was announce on September 18th.
If you have any additional questions please let me know.
See below of the statement released last September.
Original Statement
On the morning of September 2nd, our banking partners and law enforcement notified us of unusual activity connected to our payment systems. Our IT security team immediately began working with leading IT security firms, our banking partners, and the Secret Service to investigate. That investigation confirmed that a breach had in fact occurred, and could potentially impact customers who used a payment card at our U.S. and Canadian stores in 2014, from April to September. There is no evidence that the breach has impacted stores in Mexico or customers who shopped online at HomeDepot.com or HomeDepot.ca.
On Sept. 18, we announced we had fixed the breach. We also announced the completion of a new security initiative to provide enhanced encryption of payment card data in U.S. stores, offering significant new protection for customers. Rollout of enhanced encryption to Canadian stores will be completed by early 2015.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
The Home Depot.
More savings. More doing."
