I'm glad they've stopped. Maybe they aren't sending out that damned catalog anymore, or they no longer compile their own mailing lists.

The funny thing is that everyone gets that flyer anyway.
The computer system still won't let you complete a return without putting in name and address info.
The other thing you should know is that the store copy of reciepts has the full number and expiration date on it. Judging by my experience both working at Radio Shed and dumpster diving, these things don't get shredded or sent to company headquarters.
