    I just read online I should be shredding those. Uh oh. I've been throwing them away for a while. Hopefully nobody tries to do anything. Nervous right now.

    I don't personally and I get about 10 a weeks it seems. I don't need them either, because I stay in the chase ultimate rewards umbrella.

    The only problem with that is you can actually get special offers in the mail. I just got a chase airline card with a 50,000 bonus. Where they only have 30,000 if you go their site.

    Shred anything that isn't just junk mail.

    Shred everything that has your name and address on it, junk mail or not.

    Also, use a crosscut shredder.

    I always destroy anything like that which comes in my name.

    I throw away my ex-wife's junk mail unopened. :grin:

    I don't really get CC applications anymore...it's rare that I do. This has been the case for the past 3-4 years. Don't remember what I did to stop the applications. I do get the occasional insurance application though and yes I do shred those, along with anything else that has more than my name and address.
