Direct Mail
Explanation:
The means by which many credit card offers are extended and accepted. Direct mailings of credit card offers are an invitation to fraud.
Our Thoughts:
If you decide that you do not want to receive prescreened offers of credit and insurance, you have two choices: You can opt out of receiving them for five years or opt out of receiving them permanently. Call toll-free 1888-5-OPTOUT (18885678688) or visit www.optoutprescreen.com for details.
The Direct Marketing Association's (DMA) Mail Preference Service lets you opt out of receiving unsolicited commercial mail from many national companies for five years. When you register with this service (for a $1 fee), your name will be put on a delete file and made available to direct-mail marketers. However, your registration will not stop mailings from organizations that do not use the DMA's Mail Preference Service. To register with DMA's Mail Preference Service, go to www.dmachoice.org.
The DMA also has an Email Preference Service to help you reduce unsolicited commercial emails. To opt out of receiving unsolicited commercial email from DMA members, visit http://www.ims-dm.com/cgi/optoutemps.php. Your online request will be effective for five years.
