Ever get fed up with the amount of junk mail that you are receiving? I was. At one point I was receiving at least 2 letter a week from Chase Visa requesting that I sign up for their credit card. What I don’t understand is why, after hundreds of pieces of mail soliciting my business, Chase thought that I would eventually succomb to their mail barrage and apply for their card.
I did a bit of research a year or two ago and found the DMA. They have 3 different options for removing your name and address from mass marketing mailing lists. Of course, the easiest way, electronically removing yourself over the internet, costs $5. I think that I was so fed up with all the junk I was receiving, that I forked out the fiver and hoped for the best.
So, does removing yourself work? I am happy to report that it does. I have not received any junk mailings from Chase or any other credit card company since around the time I put my address on the mailing list. So, if you are fed up with the junk, consider doing something about it.
