I got one from a credit card company where I had had an account before a finanical meltdown of sorts, so I sent it in, and they rejected me based on my past history with that company. Seems like they were rather wasting their postage sending offers to someone they already know they weren't going to accept. My husband just got one, and I went online to check out the company, and the general offer being made to anyone who applied online was better than the one being offered to him speciifically.

First off those little cardboard fake credit cards they send you are perfect for tassel making, winding embroidery thread, building card houses, mounting fishing flies and a host of other uses! Second, the envelope and stuffing only need a quick run through the paper shredder and voila! free cat litter! I'm not quite sure why the nice credit card companies want to send me free cat litter - surely they don't think I'm gonna actually sign up - but as long as they do I and my kitties will appreciate it. Ya think they'd like me to send them a used sample just to show how much we appreciate it? Those pre-approved credit offers are terrific!
