Discover is weird.

Discover sent me an offer for a Discover It card. Only problem is that I've had a Discover It card already for over two years. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, I guess. Weird.

You can have more than 1 Discover, sounds like they are offering you another.

Discover has been the biggest spammer in my area lately. In fact I start to get pi**ed and serious annoyed, LOL.

They used to send invitations in the name of my wife almost every 2 weeks. I called them and asked to stop it - they did.

Now they send offers in the names of my parents (I added them as AU on a couple of my cards) and in the name of my friend (also an AU). 6-8 envelopes every month.

I tried to call them again, but they don't want to remove "third parties" from their mailing list based on someone's call. Fugg, it's MY address!!! MY MAILBOX!

I really like Discover, but the amount of junk mail coming from them has skyrocketed lately. I wonder how many letters they need to send to realize that the person will NOT apply for their card...

I got the letters for 3 months, and even after I went ahead and got approved, I still got them. Yep, weird. It stopped after a while though.

Get the return envelopes on the mail and annoy the heck out of them and help the postal services ;-)

A friend at the USPS told me that usually credit card ads are paid as a "bulk" mailing, so how ever many mailings are paid for, that's what goes out regardless of if you respond or not. It's like seeing a commercial for a store sale two days after the sale is over...lol...it's already paid for, so they just let it run.
