Credit card solicitations can be annoying-- especially when your mailbox is filled with them! I've used OptOutPrescreen.com to remove myself from mailings, and most of them have disappeared. Although I still get some junk mail, it's not nearly as bad. Great tips! Credit card solicitations can be annoying– especially when your mailbox is filled with them!

You basically declare that you think their mailing is sexually explicit. It has helped a lot for me. http://www.planetmike.com/journal/category/advertising/junkmail/ I need to start it up again, there's a couple new banks, real estate losers and grocery stores sending me stuff.

Safeway and local businesses work directly with the local postal service in some way I haven't yet been able to get information on. I called USPS and they referred me to the Mail Preference Service listed above, but that service advises that it has limited applicability to local businesses and that I may have to contact each company directly. In my opinion I should be able to ask the postal service to not deliver any "current resident" type mailings to my mailbox. I'd love to hear any suggestions on this.

I figure why waste such a perfect opportunity to make them pay double postage for bothering me? It takes a little time out of my day, but it amuses me.
