Friday Quickie: Stop those Damn Credit Card Offers!

There’s nothing I dread more than receiving those damn credit card offers in the mail. Such lies and false promises – free airline tickets, magazines, chateaus, daschunds…  They’ll give me ANYTHING to sign up for another express ticket on the gateway to debt.

Good news for you – You can opt out of Credit Card offers with OptOutPrescreen.com.  Because of a “Fair Credit Reporting Act”, companies are allowed to give your name to credit agencies.  Which results in a  LOT of paper in your mailbox.

Just take a minute, visit the site, and opt out of junk mail.
