Many times, my wife and I will receive an offer for each of us, in the same day, but with different offers. Keep track of your wife’s offers vs yours.

Since signing up, the credit card offers have just about stopped. The site we used to stop credit card offers is optoutprescreen.com.

Usually that info is on the front of the envelope or in big font at the top of the letter, so the effort would be minimal. But it'd be interesting to see how those offers fluctuate given the changing economic times.

It worked quite well for us. We were getting probably 1-2 offers per day until we opted out of promos with all the credit agencies. Now we probably only get 1-2 offers every 3 months. Much more secure this way and far less junk mail. …or maybe your time might be better spent going through the “OPT OUT” procedure and tracking how well it works. It worked quite well for us.

This is a very cool idea and I'm eager to find out some hard numbers on the quantity of unsolicited offer sent out each year to people.
