Catalog Choice is a great concept, but unfortunately its purpose didn’t work out. I entered nearly 40 catalog names for my name/address to be removed from their mailing list. Result? My catalog load is now 150% of what it was before, with an avalanche of new catalogs I have never heard of before. Entering my name and address into Catalog Choice was the worst choice I’ve made in a long time. My recommendation: contact the catalog company directly. You won’t have any luck, but you’ll feel better for having tried.

Sarah:
The fact that you entered your name on Catalog Choice is not the reason that you got more catalogs. We work with merchants to insure that your name remains secure and is only used to opt you out of catalogs.
The effort to get the merchants to comply has been significant. But we are making progress and we expect a significant reduction in catalogs in 2009.
