I'm so sick of getting tons of credit card offers in the mail. I've started to do something with them besides throwing them out, especially afetr reading this. I tear up everything that came in the orignal envelope and stuff it all into the pre-paid reply envelope. I write "stop sending" on one of the larger scraps, and then I stic it in the mail. They can put it in *their* trash.
your heart is in the right place, but i think the only thing this accomplishes is creating more work for both you and the poor sap in Young America, MN or whatever that has to process all the applications.
now if only 5 of your friends had some incentive to do this, and make 5 of their friends do it...
