I get so many of these offers in the mail, I never resopond to them but the junk mail keeps rolling in.
Is there a way to stop this stuff from coming to my house? I found this link in a older thread. Is this the first step to take? I never heard of this website before, is it legit? Are there other websites that you guys know of? https://www.optoutprescreen.com/opt_form.cgi thanks, |

Also send a letter to the Direct Marketing Association:

Contact the Direct Marketing Association too, if you want to reduce other types of junk mail, but keep in mind that they have no effect on advertising sent to 'resident' and similar non-names. |

I opted out a few months ago. The reduction in junk mail has been AMAZING! I saw a drop about a week after I did it online, and with in the month they stoped altogether. You can still get a stray one now and again, either from a company you already have a card/account with, or from someone working off an credit report they pulled before you opted out. But I went from 3 offers a DAY to one maybe every two weeks. It's given my shreader a breather!

Don't opt out! The post office relies on all this junk mail for its income. Of course I am kidding.
If it wasn't for all the 0% offers I get everyweek, I wouldn't get any mail half of the time. I actually like the preapproved offers, since there is no other way I would find out about all the good rebates and signup offers. It does however put you at risk of having someone steal the offer and try to open an acct in your name. |
