I own an electric shredder. My brother stopped recieving credit card offers after he kept sendiing back other offers back to them. Master Card got Visa offers and so on.
No need. We haven’t seen a credit card offer in many years. All you do is find OPT OUT on one of the financial advisor websites like Clark Howard’s and follow directions.
olddog1, you’re a freaking genius! I never would have thought of that.
But a serious security-minded person would use a shredder regardless. You mail the stuff back and it could still fall into The Wrong Hands – you just give your name and financial access more time out in the wild. (Besides, a shredder is cool…it makes me feel like a secret agent or something.)
I do not own a shredder. So I have to snip, snip, snip every card with a pair of scissors. I am sure my hand muscles have increased in mass. Now that’s a plugger.

I hate those suckers too…if I had all the cards I’ve been “pre-approved” for, my wallet would be 16 inches thick..

Do pluggers own electric shredders? I used to use the free postage envelops to send back everything they sent that didn’t have my name on it.
