Last year over 6 billion credit card offers were mailed out in the U.S. You might receive several of these offers a day -- along with all the other junk mail you've got to sort through. Remember, it's not enough to simply throw these applications in the trash. You've got to shred them first to protect yourself from identity theft.
Better yet, if you want to stop the credit card companies from mailing you applications altogether and you're willing to give up other unsolicited mail like catalogues and such, go to The Direct Marketing Association's website at www.dmachoice.organd complete their online form. It will take you off all the junk mail lists.
