    <wolf> 1. Save every Free Credit Card Offer you get, Put it in pile A
    <wolf> 2. Save every Free Coupon You get, put that in pile B
    <wolf> 3. Now open the credit card mail from pile A and find the Business
    Reply Mail Envelope.
    <wolf> 4. Take the coupons from pile B and stuff them in the envelope you hold
    in your hand.
    <wolf> 5. Drop the stuffed to the brim envelopes in your mail and walk away
    whistling.
    <wolf> 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.
    <wolf> 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.

    Yeah, bash.org is a funny site. Some of the stuff seems staged though...

    Well I got it from you in the current hip thread. Yeah, I wonder how much was just scripted... That one is good though.

    I don't think it's staged at all, there are several quotes on Bash from people I know.

    You think it's too much effort to read the OP?

    just one question, if its a business reply envelope and you stuff only the free coupons into it, how does the credit card company know its come from you in the first place?!??
