You’re Pre-Approved! Who cares!

Posted January 11, 2007

Are you tired of getting those ‘pre-approved’ offers for credit cards and loans in the mail? I know I am. Most of the time, I rip the envelope in half without even opening it. They’re a major waste of trees.

Well, I found a website in the latest issue of Consumer Reports (we get it at work) that gives you the option of opting out of getting those offers … OptOutPrescreen.com.

I just went through the process. It’s painless. Just fill out their form with name and address and SSN (but that’s optional). It takes only a couple minutes. And it’s good for 5 years. That’ll be nice. No more stupid credit card offers in the mail. Woohoo! :dancin:

I just thought I’d pass it along in case anyone else was tired of getting those stupid “you’re pre-approved” offers in the mail.

  1. I bet a day doesn’t go buy that I don’t get a credit card app. I usually just shred it and mail them the empty envelope back just to mess with them.
