  1. Save every Free Credit Card Offer you get, Put it in pile A
  2. Save every Free Coupon You get, put that in pile B
  3. Now open the credit card mail from pile A and find the Business
  Reply Mail Envelope.
  4. Take the coupons from pile B and stuff them in the envelope you hold
  in your hand.
  5. Drop the stuffed to the brim envelopes in your mail and walk away
  whistling.
  I have now received two phone calls from the credit card companies
  telling me that they received a stuffed envelope with coupons rather
  then my application. They informed me that it they are not pleased that
  they footed the bill for the crap I sent them. I reply with “It says
  Business Reply Mail” I’m suggesting coupons to you to ensure that your
  business is more successful. They promptly hang up on me.
  Now, I did this for about a month before it got boring, so I got an
  added idea! I added exactly 33 cents worth of pennies to the envelope
  so they paid EXTRA due to the weight. I got a call informing me about
  the money, I said it was a mistake and I demanded my change back. After
  yelling at the clerk and then to the supervisor they agreed to my
  demands and cut me a check for the money. I hold in my hand at this
  very moment a check from GTE Visa for exactly 33 cents.
