In the stamp postmark area, if you see “Prepaid Sorted Standard”, most of the time it’s junk mail like what you describe. Regardless of how “important” it says it is.

NewWorldOverHere@kbin.social 10 months agoI am almost to the point where I don’t mind normal junk mail. That’s easy to quickly scan, identify as junk, and toss.
What really grinds my gears are when my companies contact me and write something like “Important” on it. This happened recently with my credit card company. I thought maybe I had gone overdue, or had overpaid and this was letting me know my bill the following month would be less (it has happened before).
No - it was letting me know I had good credit and could get a good % on a loan through them if I wanted. Now, that made me mad. Spam mail, from my very own credit card company. B.S.

That’s a good tip, thank you!

My bank called me and told me I needed to come it due to something with my account. I asked what it was and they weren’t clear. I asked if they were just going to try and sell me a credit card and they said no. During the week I work banking hours, so they agreed to have me come in on Saturday. So on Saturday, instead of doing what I want, I get dressed and go to the bank. They tried to sell me a credit card and a savings account. Since that happened I found a new bank and have been migrating over. I plan to close the account completely in the coming months. I was a customer for 22 years without any issues, but fuck them for lying to me and disrupting my weekend for a sales pitch.
