The only one that keeps asking me for a credit card is Trans Union. The other two are frozen. They didn’t charge anything. I don’t think that they are supposed to charge.

I have done this since the 90's with all 3 credit agencies for my husband and I (when we filed a tax return for our refund and were told we had already filed). In addition to the freeze, every 6 months I check our credit reports (for free as well). Sometimes, like you, I can't find the free option. I just put it aside and try it again the next day and always find it. They sometimes make it really hard. Just keep hunting, it's there.
If you've set up an account and are signed in, go to https://service.transunion.com/dss/dashboard.page? Click on the top left-hand box that says "Credit Freeze." As someone else has explained, a "lock" - similar but different - costs money.

No cost. Set up a free account on TransUnion. Then set up a freeze.
Every time I go in and try to do it they ask for my credit card, and won’t let me bypass it. What am I doing wrong?
