Do you shred credit card applications (mail)? What else do you shred?

Do this so you don't get them to begin with.

 

I don't personally and I get about 10 a weeks it seems. I don't need them either, because I stay in the chase ultimate rewards umbrella.

 

The only problem with that is you can actually get special offers in the mail. I just got a chase airline card with a 50,000 bonus. Where they only have 30,000 if you go their site.

 

Shred anything that isn't just junk mail.

 

This.

 

Abs. Sometimes pork and chicken

Shred everything that has your name and address on it, junk mail or not.

Also, use a crosscut shredder.

 

why??
Address and name is easily available anywhere..

I shred anything that has more than my name/add/phone on it.

 

I always destroy anything like that which comes in my name.

I throw away my ex-wife's junk mail unopened. :grin:

 

Are you phishing for whose trash to go through?

 

Yes. I shred all mail. Except Victoria Secret catalogs...

 

I don't really get CC applications anymore...it's rare that I do. This has been the case for the past 3-4 years. Don't remember what I did to stop the applications. I do get the occasional insurance application though and yes I do shred those, along with anything else that has more than my name and address.

 

cheese.
