Is there a limit on how many times a company you have an account with can call you with a marketing offer?

SLC questioned:
I know the do not call list does not apply to companies that you do business. But my credit card company has been calling 3-4 times a day with offers. No matter how much I tell them interested they call back multiple times and everyday.
Noticed I said i am interested instead of not. I am already on the registry but I know there is no laws against companies you do business with but I was wondering if they have limits on how many times they can call.

Sounds like you need to get on this registry.
There are best practice standards with which any company that is a member of the Direct Marketing Association must comply. I gotta reckon that any legit credit card co. is a member.
I’d call the DMA (site link below) and find out what you can do. Failing that, I’d call your credit card co’s customer service department and tell them that you’re going to chop up your card if they don’t stop. And if you’re feeling really adventurous, do some research and find out who the senior marketing person is and give them a call. If this person knew that this practice is going on, I’m sure they’d have a fit. They might even like to know that their telemarketing supplier is harrassing customers.
Excellent luck!
