I have oftentimes thought of doing the same thing, especially with expired cards, but I couldn’t ever seem to ge them rounded enough.
A personal favorite of my own in regards to credit card snail mail is to take off anything that would identify me. Then, I like to mail back the blank form in addition to any other useless paper that I have lying around. As many of these have free return postage, I take quite a bit of joy out of taking the credit cards, for even a little bit of money.
