When my sister was in college someone used one of these "free offers" and along with her social security number, opened a credit card account with in her name. She didn't find out about it until years later at which point her already non-existent credit rating was completely trashed and she had to deal with closing these credit card accounts she didn't even know about and then trying to get that crap off of the Experian/TRW credit reports. It might make you feel better now, but you won't be feeling better when some con artist has racked up $4,357.68 in charges in your name. I shred these card offers too. My current card is Amazon.com VISA, I applied online which is way more secure than snail mail. And they gave me a free pineapple!

Send them pizza coupons or kittie pictures or whatever you want. Stuff that prepaid envelope with whatever junk mail you have lying around. This keeps throws a little money the way of the USPS and means Capital One has to deal with *your* junk mail. Even if it doesn't work it makes me feel better. If everyone did this it would cost them a fortune and shut down the whole system. The *best* solution I’ve heard for this is to send them back your junk mail in the prepaid envelope.
