How many cc offers do you get in the mail each day?

Yesterday, DH and I received five cc offers. FIVE!!  We receive at least one per day (yes, everyday, we receive at least one) but five was the max we have received in one day. For one thing, it is SUCH a disappointment to race to the mailbox after work to realize all that has been waiting for you is stupid cc offers and for another...wtf?  I guess I was under the impression we (our country) were in some sort of credit crunch?

Anyway, its annoying.

Re: How many cc offers do you get in the mail each day?

  • Very annoying! I usually get about 3 once a week. I think it's because I don't have a cc in my name. I used to have 2 when I was in my irresponsible phase (19-21) so I've just been turned off by them.

  • Between the of us, we probably average 5/week. Some days we get 1, other days we get multiple ones in the mail. I think it was Monday that we had 4 in the mail. Super annoying and I hate that so much paper is wasted!
  • We normally get atleast 1 a day. It is annoying but I just rip them up and trash them.

  • I think you can stop them being sent to you. I set up a fraud alert on my account when my SS # was used, and that including stopping those "pre-approved" offers in the mail.
  • Since we bought our house we literally get 2-3/day. It's insane (and, I agree, very disappointing.)
  • I had six waiting on me when I got back from Colorado. Stupid CC offers. I usually average 2-3 a week. I need to put in to stop getting them.

    How did you set up a fraud alert? Is this a service you have to pay for?

  • You know, I actually don't remember the last time I got one. I opted out a few years ago though: https://www.optoutprescreen.com/opt_form.cgi

    Thanks for posting this link!  H and I get a ton of these as well (usually we get two from the same company, one addressed to each of us, on the same day, at least 3 times a week).  We will have to fill out this form and see if it stops.

    Do you have to opt out every year? I have done this multiple times and it hasn't helped.  I am going to do it again though just to be sure - thank you!

    You shouldn't have to, but I would probably do it every time my address changed to be safe.

    Good to know - just opted out for both of us.  It seems like the last year has gotten HORRIBLE and I wonder if it doesn't have something to do with my company AMEX card? Either way - soooo annoying! Thanks, lady!

    You are very welcome! I hope it works for you...it's so irritating, and what a stupid waste of paper to boot.  

  • I maybe get 1-2 a week, max. And that's a busy week.

  • I was gonna guess and say one a day, but I just got the mail.  I got three today!  It annoys the crap outta me too!

  • I usually get around 2 every day, plus DH gets a few offers per week. I get at least twice as many as he doe- I guess that means my credit is better! I receive several offers each week in my maiden name, which I changed 1.5 years ago. Sometimes we'll get 3 of each offer in a day: one for DH, one for me, one for me in maiden name.

    I rarely get offers. I used the opt out thing bluekid posted several years ago.

    The only offers I get are ones associated with airlines.
