Opt out of prescreened credit card offers

[vital]

Some of you may or may not already know about this but I just found out about it and I thought I'd share. If you're tired of shredding hundreds of credit card offers every month, you can opt out of prescreened credit card offers by registering at <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://www.optoutprescreen.com">https://www.optoutprescreen.com</a>.

it is a double edge sword, it cut out the bad credit card offers and good credit card offers you may want.

If I want a certain card, I'll specifically sign up for it online

It's still worth it in my view. 99% of the offers I get will go directly to the shredder. If there's a specific card you want, might as well go directly to the site to apply.
