Credit card issuers sent out more than 2.6 billion business credit card offers to U.S. households between January 2006 and December 2010, according to recent report from the Pew Safe Credit Cards Project.
No, that is not a typo: 2.6 billion, or an average of nearly 44 million per month – enough envelopes to make a paper trail across the U.S. and back each month, Pew said.
The height in that 5-year range was December 2007, a month in which American households received 91 million business credit card solicitations, according to Pew.
In contrast, January 2006 represented the low point in that range, with 10.4 million business credit card offers sent via direct mail to consumer households in that month. In each of the four most recent months examined in the study – September through December 2010 – the monthly average hovered near 20 million solicitations.
Data showed that all household income levels and age groups received business credit card solicitations in the five years included in the study. Howev
