does it shred unopened credit card offers

I've only shredded one or two credit cards and they were not in packaging. Both were personal cards that had expired and been replaced with current ones. There is a slot in the upper right corner of the top of the machine to shred cards.

Yes, it does shred any unopened mail of regular thickness. It also has the "Credit card/CD" shredding slot, which will shred thicker pieces of mail. However it won't mulch through this slot, will only shred into 5 or 6 different pieces.

I have not tried but I would assume so. I always open the offers & only shred the application part. The rest I recycle.

It will shred unopened offers right in the envelope as long as it's not too thick and there isn't an actual credit card in it. I've done it without any problems with this machine.

I honestly have never tried it that way. I would assume so. I usually open all my mail and feed it one page at a time (some times 2) so that I don't put much stress/heat build-up on the shredder. This machine does shred credit cards and CDs with ease in their own slots. The machine works great and I have no complaints.

Does not take any bags that I am aware of. I have used this quite well, by just dumping the shredding when close to full and also keeping off when not in use. Works well on credit cards as well.

Yes. There is a motion activation setting. Works fairly well. There is also a setting that allows it to "roll over" when the card is full and record over the oldest files.

I purchased mine pre-dropbox and do not know. I have not used it for a long time. Sometimes it worked and often the cards were not read correctly. I gave up.

Not really. You send it through the first time width-wise and it creates "two strips" with extra from each side. The two strips are business card width. Then you send your widths through one at a time (through the lower opening lengthwise) to create the 5 (and then 10) business cards.

I've done a few unopened mailers through here and it sounds like it's definitely maxing out the shredder. 3 pieces of a paper folded three times and a sample credit card inside (for example) would exceed the spec of the shredder and possibly cause a jam. In the past with lesser shredders, I've killed them by running unopened mail through them. I've had this shredder stop in the middle of unopened junk mail, and was able to recover, but wouldn't push the limit again.

Hi Leanna! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The answer is no, it should not affect the integrity of your magnetic strip on your credit cards. I'm also grateful to hear from the other buyers that they have not experienced this issue either. Very informative answers. Anything else, please let me know here at this link:

No it doesn't. You have to erase the card once it's full or every now and then. Depending on the amount of activity, I do mine about once a week (I got this reply from my niece who uses her system 24/7.) Hope this helps.

From my experience, yes. I usually just place the entire unopened envelope into shredder an shred it. Never had a problem yet. Keep in mind that you wouldn't want to place a really thick one and try to shred it. But so far I haven't found any junk mail that wouldn't shred. I think you'll be fine.

It does not leave a mark, it comes off sorta like that stuff credit card companies use when they send you a card attached to the paper.

I upgraded from version 9 to this one and it worked however the upgrade to away features I had with 9 like customers adding gratuity on their credit card receipts. When contacting customer service I was told it is no longer part of the basic program and that I would need to upgrade to another program to get that feature back. So I would just be sure the upgrade will enhance not take away from what you are using.

No guarantees. If a card is sticking out or if you accidentally put a card in the wrong place this will not work. These cards have to be 'sandwiching' your other cards in order to work .

It never damaged my credit cards. I have people concerned about it , but so far it has never affected the functionality of my card.

None I am aware of. Have had issue with all stored receipts erased with update.

No, it does not shred credit cards. With new batteries it will shred maximum of 5-6 thicknesses of paper but typical max load is about 4 thicknesses. The feed slot is about 4" so 1 piece of paper folded in half would be 2 thicknesses....

When it is brand new, one card will stay in. Like any product it will stretch if you add additional cards. So over time it would not keep one in, if you have been stuffing it with multiple cards.
