Who's tired of getting those damn credit card applications in the mail? I get one from Amercian Express all the time. They always send you that pre-paid envelope with every one. I'm thinking that with all the applications they send out, that's gotta be alot of money in postage. I've heard of an idea that will not waste this hard earned money from the credit card companies: Send them coupons!

That's right, when you get a credit card application with one of those friendly pre-paid envelopes, get yourself a nice ad you think they will like and mail it back in that envelope! Talk about heart warming. They will know you really care when they get coupons for 2 for 1 at the local Diary Queen. Imagine the deals these people might not know about? I recently sent off an ad I received from Earthlink to American Express letting them know it's only $19.95. Valuable information.

If they don't end up liking the coupons, screw them. Now they will know what it's like to receive junk mail you don't want. Bastards

I get more upset with email spam because I cant get the satisfaction of ripping it up like I can with snail mail spam......

That doesnt get it out of my inbox.... What they need right besid the delete button is a shread button. When you hit it plays a ripping sound and animates on the screen the tearing of the junk mail. Now that would be satisfing for me. :lol:

Hehe.. SpamAssassin tags subject lines with **SPAM** the way I have it configured, so I just setup Outlook to put anything with that in the subject to the trash :D
