Are you getting too many credit card offers? Did you know there is an official, national site where you can opt-out of getting these? I strongly recommend doing this, not just to safe the environment and the hassle of dealing with junk mail, but also as a security precaution. These offers are easy to steal out of your mailbox, and the credit card companies will gladly send your "new card" to a "new address" without blinking.
This is also a good idea for those who have issues with the temptation of credit. If you take the offers away, you take most of the temptation away. (People with college-age kids will understand all too well)
All it takes is name, address and social and you are good for 5 years. If you want it to be permanent, you are going to need to print out a form and lick a stamp (they make it harder or purpose)
Official site is at: OptOutPrescreen.com Phone: 888-567-8688
More information available on this at the FTC.
