I've been doing this for a few years. Some of the credit card companies (Capitol One for example) have caught on to this and now put a barcode on the BACK of the return envelope. That way, if you send them junk, they know it was you. But I figured out a way to beat them at their own game.
Take a piece of tape and put it over the barcode, and then pull it off quickly. The barcode strips right off! You may need to do it 2 or 3 times to get it all.
My wife asks me why I bother at all. I just like to show them that we can continue to beat them at their own game.
well, i think its pointless, eventhough ive been doing it for a while, every so often.
"Imagine the frustration of credit card companies when they have to spend millions of dollars every year on first-class postage just to open up an envelope and find Pizza Hut coupons inside. The envelopes are intended to be used for "BUSINESS REPLY MAIL," and so use them for their intended purpose. You're sending them valuable money-saving coupons which could mean big savings to credit card companies, and it makes good business sense to use them. Consider it a reply to their business proposition with a business proposition of your own: 35 cents off a large, one-topping pizza."
great shit though
