Nope, I hoard all pieces of credit mail, even those preapprovals, CLI denials, and privacy preferences notices.

Never, thats the legal contract and you may need that to litigate in the future.

Eventually yes. I do however read them first.

If I need to review it again it is available on the website.

Nope, I have a box that I store my credit card agreements and all other related materials in. I've never had to reference any of them, but I do like having them available if necessary.

Re: Anyone else just throw away their credit card agreements after receiving?

Although many things are available online, some aren't, and have to be re-mailed out to you. So because of that, I tend to keep the agreements. No real advantage to trashing them, and I have them if I need them.

 

People should take the time to read these documents, because they can often answer a lot of questions (similar to the recent Synchrony debacle, where people are wondering what info can and cannot be shared, which can be answered by reading your documents).

I file them away, but I have a tendency to hold on to A LOT of paper stuff like that.

 

I'm still trying to establish a good system of file/hold/purge with relevant shred dates. 

 

I'm nowhere near as obsessive in other areas of my life, but after ending up with 3 judgments due to avoidance/embarassment, I'm hypervigilant about contracts & receipts.
