That's exactly why they are calling, he's in the military I take it? They assume military families are cash poor and "need" a credit card. Don't give in.
Go to www.donotcall.gov and put your number ont he federal Do NOt Call list and select the "for ever" option, the one that doesn't expire. IT will take up to 3 months for the list to go into effect but it DOES work. Also, any time you give out personal info, like online, or in response to some "free" offer, you have to resubmit on the list as they take that as opting in.

I agree with the other posters about using the Don't Call list
You should also Opt Out.
Opting out is a seperate government program from the don't call list.
Opting out will stop the credit reporting agencies from selling your information.
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt063.htm
Who ever you deal with in the credit world - mortgages, car loans, etc., will sell your information also.
They usually have their own opt out lists that you can place yourself on. They should have sent you information on it, if you happened to miss it you can call them about it.
Opting out, along with the don't call list, is always free.
Just be sure use the opt out/do not call information directly from the government sites and your own individual credit companies.

You can post your name and phone number on the national do not call list should be able to do online. I did it when they first started it and nobody ever calls me also added my cell and husbands cell as well:)

Do not call registry. Tell each one specifically not to call, write down the name. They cant call again once you tell them not to (unless youve done business with them in the last year-nothing you can do if you have).
