How To Stop Receiving Credit Card Offers

Credit Building, Credit Cards · November 27, 2011

Think back to when you were 10 years old. An envelope would come in the mail with your name on it. Didn’t matter who it was from, the excitement was still there. There was something about receiving mail that makes a kid feel important.

Fast forward 20 years…Complete 180.

Now you dread mail. It’s not your birthday. There’s no celebrating. You know what’s inside. No need to even open it.

50% chance it’s a bill…Unfortunately, this you can’t control. You better pay these.

50% chance it’s a preapproval offer…Here’s where I can help.

If you have anywhere in the range of decent credit (we’ll say 700+) you’re probably flooded with credit card preapproval offers. Mix in some offers to switch your car insurance to the local agent and all-of-a-sudden your mailbox is full when you return from vacation.

If you want to be removed from these prescreen mailing lists visit:

www.optoutprescreen.com

or

Call 888-5OPTOUT (888-567-8688)

I’m can’t guarantee that your mail will soon disappear to point you’ll again be excited it’s there, but it’s worth a shot.

Important Disclosure

I'm a big believer in transparency. As such, you should know that I make money from this blog. Weird, I know. The way I make money is simple: I occasionally link to products and companies that I believe provide tremendous value. If you choose to sign up, I may receive a small payout. This payout comes at no additional cost to you and, trust me, it's small. I'm in no position to quit my day job. Please do not spend any money on these products unless you feel you need them or that they will help you achieve your goals.
