Call 1(888) 5 OPT OUT to add your name to the no solicit list at all 3 main credit bureaus. This will prevent them from selling your name to the credit card companies.
This will not prevent credit card companies from getting your info from other sources, but it should reduce it considerably. Most card companies get your info from the credit bureaus, so this can help cut your solicitations by 80% or so.

We put a fraud alert on our credit information (SSN). And now we receive almost nothing. Just offers from banks, companies we already do business with.
Call Experian, or go online for any of the three credit companies. It was free and helped immensely.
And I agree, mail their offers back in their postage paid envelopes - business for the USPS - they get blank forms back...
If this marketing technique was't profitable, they wouldn't do it...

in case you get an grant interior the mail, open it and look it over for an element that declares decide out or subscribe or something like that. it extremely is many times in important factors on the backside and/or decrease back of the letter. Then stick to what the decide out counsel says to do. The final time I opted out of a mastercard grant, I had to bypass to an internet site that replaced into listed on their letter and then form in my archives so as that they does no longer deliver me anymore letters (i've got not gained something considering the fact that). or you may call them, yet that would not many times paintings very nicely.

The best way that I know of is to contact the Direct Marketing Association. They have "do not send" lists for their members.

Not sure if they can really be stopped [I receive 4-5 every week], but I make certain that I shred every one of them, before discarding (to protect against identity theft).

When you get them, write VOID on the application and mail them back in their pre-paid postage envelope.
