Oh my! You should see the amount of junk mail and catalogs I get since I got "serious" about the offers. I never knew USPS has plastic bags until about 2 months ago when my mail lady began hanging my mail on my door knob in big USPS plastic bags! I get a minimum of 10 catalogs each day and various other letter & postcard type advertisements. I even received a hand-addressed letter from some Las Vegas advertiser the other day. I've never been to Vegas in my life but I have completed a few Vegas vacation offers. I must admit, I enjoy the catalogs - I had no idea there are so many catalogs out there! But the rest is just goes into the recycle bin.
