Yeah. I always call them up and tell them to either stop sending me
those checks or cancel my card. Surprisingly, the checks stop. Of
course, I'm a pretty good customer, so...
It helps to hold the same card for 20+ years and have good credit to
start with. Otherwise, it's hard to bargain from power.
I always liked the ads that come with those checks: "Cash some in and
spend it on fun stuff, or pay off bills, or just put it in the bank for
a rainy day!" Yeah, right.

Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?
