I’ve sent a half-dozen emails to these fuckers to have them stop with the bulk mailings for credit cards. If I ever would have considered getting a Chase credit card, someone would now have to put a blowtorch to my testicles before I would ever consider it. And even then - maybe. Do I have any options? Is there a consumer watchdog who can stop these morons?

I’d recommend calling them. I had to call one of their subdivisions to get them to stop sending solicitations for the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards credit card, which I was getting multiple times a week. (I was ready to cancel my frequent flyer account with Southwest Airlines to get them to stop.) I haven’t received a solicitation from them in months, but let’s see if they start up again after I next fly Southwest Airlines.

Also, take a look at the [OptOutPrescreen website](https://www.optoutprescreen.com), which is supposed to help you opt out of prescreened credit offers from mailing lists provided by the major credit reporting agencies.

They are the worst, and I vowed to never get Chase based upon the mass mailings. AMEX is probably a close second. I later got an Amazon card, which is run by Chase. Their website is crap and unhelpful. Even though I now have a card with them, I still get mailings; I guess it won’t stop until I have every permutation of their cards.

I highly recommend doing this. I did it several years ago when I had no mailbox security and it has really cut down what I get. I think all I get these days are attempts to get me to sign up for a credit card linked to various airline (and Amtrak) frequent flier/rider programs. I’m sure there’s a way to opt out of those, too, but I haven’t looked, as the envelopes go straight to the shredder.

Save every one of the letters from them and send them an invoice for $100 for time spent processing unsolicited offers. When they don’t pay, sue them in small claims court.
