Has anyone tried this?
Michael wants a membership, but I'm feeling a bit red-flagged by the fact that they want either a credit card number, a driver's silence number, or some other "government id" for me to be a member, so he can be a member.

I found their privacy policy here:

In order for you to provide consent and fully activate your child's account, we directly collect personal information from parents such as your name, address, email address and year of birth. Other information we collect depends on what method of consent verification you choose.

imbee offers three ways to provide consent. A parent can give consent by providing a credit card number for verification, or verify by telephone by giving us their telephone number for us to call them, or verify by faxing us a completed consent form with a copy of a valid government issued photo ID.

I gave my number and they called, but then they still wanted my DL # on top of that. I could be being paranoid though.

That does not sound legit. I've registered my kid for a couple of different websites (including one that was very secure, for something through the school district) and they did not ask for any personal information like a credit card! I'd give them a bogus number. To me, it smacks of fraud.
