After several days of not retrieving my mail, I was unpleasantly surprised by the wad of junk mail that I found waiting this evening when I finally opened my mail box. I don’t think I actually received one piece of real mail (which might actually be a good thing because a large portion of real mail is typically bills), but I did receive no fewer than five pieces of junk mail from AmEx. I’m a big fan of getting in on special offers based on a rewards program from a credit card company. American Express, however, pushes the limit and sends me so much crap that I no longer even take their mail seriously unless I know it’s a bill I have to pay.
So I pose these questions to AmEx: WTF? Why do you spam all your loyal, paying on time customers? Do you not know this will aggravate them and encourage them to consider switching to a new credit card company that doesn’t load their mail boxes with junk mail? Argh…so that’s my rant on AmEx’s junk mail. I would think AmEx would try to be a little more environmentally-conscious and stop killing so many trees with junk mailings that go straight to the garbage.
