So much Shredding SO Little Time

We read an article, by Dan Taylor(employed by itstillworks.com), detailing how to remove yourself from the American Automobile Association aka AAA mailing list. We get solicitations begging us to join AAA around every THREE WEEKS.  We followed Dan's directions to opt out or kill/cancel the subscription about 4 months ago and still see our mail box flooded with bulky, hard to dispose of snail mail with 2 cards that are difficult to shred unless one takes the time to actually open the envelope!

As you can see on the picture below, one is ordered to not bend and to please comply promptly for this so-called choice privileges membership. We were actually ordered not to discard the advertisement for a service that you can get for free when you purchase new car at most major dealerships.

I am surprised that AAA is still in business as their desperation for new members is obvious with this junk mail campaign they have implemented.

Below you can see our attempt to shred the AAA letter failed in the usually faithful metal jaws of our electric shredder. We had to get out our industrial strength scissors to get the job done. So only priority shredding to avoid AAA caused identity theft, not priority registration.

Think about it every time one of these unwanted envelopes, containing cards you did not request, land in your mail box, the burden is on you to shred or risk dumpter diving financial information predators.
