DMAchoice™ is an online tool developed by the Data & Marketing Association (DMA) to help you manage your mail. This site is part of a larger program designed to respond to consumers' concerns over the amount of mail they receive, and it is an enhancement of the DMA's Mail Preference Service created in 1971. Learn more about DMAchoice.

DMA's Mail Preference Service has been in existence since 1971. It stops most new direct mail solicitations, reducing mail volume by up to 80%. Last year alone, DMA's Mail Preference Service stopped 930 million pieces of direct mail from being sent in the United States. In fact, the service has been so successful at reducing unwanted mailings that it has been replicated in a number of other countries around the world.

DMA requires all of our member companies who send mail offers to consumers to be listed on DMAchoice. Therefore, DMAchoice represents about 80% of the total volume of marketing mail in the United States.

This is really up to you. We recommend doing it one company at a time because it gives you more control over what you receive and what you don't. For example, some companies may have options for receiving less mail or email only—so you can reduce the amount of mail you get, but you'll still have access to the information and offers you enjoy. But if you'd like to stop receiving mail from an entire category, you can make that choice. Just remember, if you've purchased from, subscribed to or donated to a company in the past, you will need to ask them to be removed directly, using the contact information included on their page within this site.

If you tried using our search tool to look for a company or brand, it's possible that it is listed under its parent company's name. If you're still unable to find the company you're looking for, it is most likely that they're not a DMA member and they may not be listed on DMAchoice.

You may also contact the non-listed company directly via their website, email, phone or by sending a formal letter. Once you've contacted them, if they haven't taken your requested action after 90 days, please report them to us. We are here to help—whether the company you're dealing with is a DMA member or not.

You should contact the company directly to let them know. They'll be eager to help you because you'll be saving them money by eliminating duplicate mailings. For most companies, you'll be able to find contact information for managing your mail on our site. But if they are not listed here, you should contact them via their website, email, phone or by sending a formal letter.

You can request to stop any type of mail solicitation. This includes credit offers, catalogs, magazine offers, donation requests, retail promotions, bank offers, and many others. However, you cannot stop bills, statements, notices and political mailings.

These types of mail are included in the Other Mail Offers category on the Manage My Mail page. If you'd like to request to stop receiving them, locate the company within the Other Mail Offers list—then use the information on their page to contact them and ask to be removed.

To prevent direct mail from being sent to a deceased individual, you must register for the Deceased Do Not Contact List. The information on this list is updated and sent to DMA member companies each month—and they are required to honor it—so you should see a decrease in mail from these companies within three months. This information is also provided to some companies that aren't DMA members. So most marketers have the opportunity to remove the deceased individual's name from their mailing lists.

To prevent direct mail from being sent to a person in your care, you must register for the Do Not Contact for Caregivers List. The information on this list is updated and sent to DMA member companies each month—and they are required to honor it—so you should see a decrease in mail from these companies within three months. This information is also provided to some companies that aren't DMA members.

When you register a name with this service, the person's name, address and email address are placed on DMA's Mail and Email Preference Service lists for three years. Consumers who reside in PA or WY may also have their telephone numbers registered with DMA's Telephone Preference Service.

Because some mailings are prepared far in advance of when you receive them, please allow 90 days for your request to take effect. If a company has not taken your requested action after 90 days, please report them to us.
