Lightbulb 10 zillion cReDiT card offers in your freaking mail? How to STOP them.

I get perhaps 3-4 CC offers PER DAY.
What a PITA; the personal data page must be torn up. Solution:

www.optoutprescreen.com

You have to inout your SS number, but it operated by the major credit bureaus. Saw this in Ye Olde Feb 2007 Consumer Reports.

Another solution is to call the opt out phone line.
It works well. I do this every couple of years.
1-888-382-1222

Here is the link from the fed. gov. with this information.

The website that they say to use is www.donotcall.gov

Mail? I got in the habit of using the pre-paid envelope they so kindly sent. On their application form I would write in broad felt tip: "No thank you...please remove me from your mailing list". The mailings didn't stop completely, but the number certainly diminished. Return 1st class postage is expensive to these guys.
