When you know that your have received junk mail offers, look inside the envelopes. Save those plastic promotional credit cards and similar plastic membership card offers from company introductory offers. Do not use the credit card offers or membership offers. Throw out the junk mail of course and recycle those plastic cards to use as scraper tools or a handy gadget, for example use them for kitchen cleaning uses such as scraping dirty, baked and crusty dishes, pots and pans, counters. Also use them as mini ice scrapers to clean frost off your car windshields. Use them as bookmarkers. Use your imagination. They are handy to keep in your purse or pockets. Recycle and reuse and then discard the junk card.

Tip: Use Promotional Credit Cards For Cleaning
Archived on 08/20/2007
The promotional information that is mailed to you for you sign up for a new credit card sometimes contains a mock plastic card in the envelope. Don't throw it away. I find that it works wonders on scraping pots and pans with little effort and without harming the pots and pans.

RE: Use Promotional Credit Cards For Cleaning
Great tip! I also give those "fake" credit cards to my kids to play with. I'll tell them that they got some mail. They feel like big shots. They have a play store and they use them with that.
They also can be used in arts and crafts to spread glue, etc. (01/12/2007)
