I've been keeping track for the past month of the junk mail I've been getting. In just four weeks time, I've received 16 offers for a Mastercard or Visa, each saying I've been preapproved. That's just not right. I've received offers for gold, silver, platinum an diamond Mastercards or Visas. I've received offers for the cards where I could pick out just about any design or picture I want to have on the card, including a photo of me for added security. The only one I was tempted to get was a Tennessee Titans Visa, but that's beside the point. The point is that we're being bombarded with offers for credit cards every time we turn around. The annoying mail has got to stop.
In the latest credit card offer I received today, I actually took a minute to read the offer, and in doing so, I found the coolest thing I would like to share with you, my faithful readers. You can call 1-888-567-8688 and stop receiving pre-approved and pre-secreened credit card offers. This is the best thing to come along since we could call the toll-free number and stop the pesky telemarketers from calling us. So give this number a call today. I just did.

Sometimes, when I'm feeling devious, I tear up/shred the application and send it back to them in their prepaid envelope. That way, they have to pay postage for no reason.
Excellent, PRCAESAR. I have a friend who does that to every piece of junk mail she gets that has a postage prepaid envelope in it. You'll have to try that, too. Let's make them have to fork over a chunk of change for postage.
I work at a company that sends direct mail offers to customers. The girls who open the envelopes get everything in them from angry notes to dirty Kleenex, condoms and pornography.
If you don't want the mailing just throw it in the effin' garbage. Do something more constructive with your time than going to the trouble to shred and send back the offer. Take a walk around the block or something.
