One Person's Junk mail....now a kid's collection




We get bombarded with credit card offers at our house. Nearly 1 credit card offer every day, sometimes more. I decided to save all the "credit cards" that we would get with these offers and let my kids play with them and to see how many credit card offers we would get.

I have been saving these since we moved into our home. We have been at this house for about 1 1/2 years now, and we have quite a stack of those fake credit cards. There are a few of them that have some neat pictures, but for the most part they are plain. The total number of cards that I have saved so far are 44. In all honesty we have received more offers than this since we have been living in our home, but I just threw most of them away when we first moved into our home. Out of these 44 cards, 13 of them are from Capital One, 7 our from Household bank, 5 are from Orchard bank, and the others don't have any signs of bank names on them. Out of the ones that are not from Capital One, 99.9% of them are from MasterCard.

I am going to try to post a few pics of my "credit card collection." You would think that after about the 5th or 6th credit card application had been sent that Capital One would have gotten the clue that we aren't interested......obviously I was wrong. Not sure what to do with these cards, so if anyone has a suggestion, let me know.
