If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The coat won't save him either.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Oh, well - if you are going to include technology then Wonder Woman has her jet so she's OK, Green Lantern has his Ring and that'll make him a rocket, but Steve Austin is toast since his top speed was about 60mph.

Steve Austin was an astronaut. It's their job to be faster than a bullet.

Only in his early career. He later became a ... I'm not quite sure what he was, but bad spy probably covered it.

I've lived at my current address for about 16 years and I'm not sure that there has been a single week when I haven't received some kind of application form from Barclaycard. Some of the mailings have involved huge bundles of paper and I dread to think how many trees have died in the process.
I find unsolicited direct marketing rude at the best of times but when a company still won't take the hint after being ignored on several hundred occasions, it really raises a lot of questions:
1) How daft would someone have to be to spend money with a company that wastes so much money on poorly targeted marketing?
2) How does their marketing director have a job?
3) How bad is their CEO if he can't see how bad his marketing director is?
4) Do they even have an IT system?
5) How much of their preposterous 19.9% interest rate is necessitated by their unmanaged marketing budget?

I guess if it wasn't effective they wouldn't bother?
I get loads from them too, but I imagine when my interest free deal on my current card runs out I might shift to them, and when it runs out on there's, to someone else, and so it continues. I imagine people like me might make it worthwhile as I can only assume they make most of their profits from transaction charges rather than interest anyway?

If there is a postage paid envelope send it back to them, with the blank forms (or not if pre-filled) and as much other junk mail you can reasonably squeeze in.
If nothing else they will have to pay for the postage.
(If everybody did it they might get the message.)

Paste the envelope onto a brick, first.

I do the same. Even with the paltry interest offered by the banks it is still worthwhile.

Yes, I'm sure that you're right in that their core business is in people transferring for the interest free period but it still doesn't make sense to write to someone every single week for sixteen years.
Added to which, I would imagine that most people looking to transfer a card these days would look on the internet rather than sift through their paper recycling box.
