Credit card junk mail
 

I got a new house here in Dallas a little over 2 years ago and now I get tons of credit card junk mail. Anyone know how to get them to stop sending this crap?

Man I get so many credit card apps at least one a day it seems.

btw I didn't know you were in Texas.

I'm looking at real estate out there because it's so damn cheap. I'm planning to buy a few condos over the next two years. I was looking at Houston and San Antonio, but I'm trying to pick a place that the weather is close to Florida's. With that in mind I was leaning towards San Antonio.

You happen to have any other suggestions?

I already do most of this.

I don't know what the temps are link in FL during the winter. Only the rio grande valley has sub tropical temps.

Have a look at the info at this page from the Federal Trade Commission:

ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/optoutalrt.htm

(Sorry the link isn't clickable. The Forum software apparently enforces 'no links' policy for posters with less then 30 posts

It gives a phone number to use to automatically opt-out of credit card mailings.

Also, opt-out with the Direct Marketing Associations 'Mail Preference' list shown further down on the same page.

Best,
