Get busy killing trees.

Last year on March 1 I was sorting my mail and wondered just how many credit card offers I receive in a year. So I saved them all for one year. Here are the results.

I do not know what my credit score is, but I know it is over 750. I do not have any significant debt and pay my cards off in full each month (a deadbeat, and thus very undesirable to the credit card companies).

Total offers 122
Total weight 5 pounds 11 ounces

Top Five <offenders>

Capital One 26 pieces
Chase 21 pieces
BoA 16 pieces
Discover 12 pieces
Citi 11 pieces

Misc (Amex, branded cards, regional banks) 36 pieces
