Quit Pushing The Q Card

KyBlueGal · ‎02-19-2026

If people wanted to apply for a Q card they would..I am tired that the last few days every show I watch they are pushing it extra hard! UGH! I realize they are just doing this so they won't offer five easy pays anymore. That is what it seems like anyway..I am tired of hearing it every five minutes though!!!

I receive credit card offers daily through the mail. It's no big deal. I just put them in the pile for shredding. Don't sweat the small stuff.

They have done this on and off for years. Seems to be sporadic. The hosts must hate it too.

Most likely, it's what they are being told to do. It is their job. I can't fault anyone for doing the job they are paid to do!

@nascarfan I am curious. Why would you shred a credit card offer instead of just trashing it. Is there a fraud issue related to credit card offers?

What does offering their credit card have to do with eliminating 5 easy pays? I use their CC and 5 EPs all the time.

@Q-Checker Credit card offers often contain sensitive information, such as your name, address, and in some cases, partial account numbers. If these documents fall into the wrong hands, they can be used to commit identity theft or fraud. Criminals may retrieve discarded credit card offers from your trash or recycling bin and use the information to open fraudulent accounts in your name.

Surprised you did not know this already.

My husband gets at least one per day and it's a pain but we shred every one. Most contain a QR code that takes you directly to the application. I don't think it would be hard to apply changing the address--especially with the lesser known companies.

Just a reminder that QVC is a for profit publicly traded corporation. They are in business to make profit and value for their shareholders. The Q card provides them a lot of additional income. It's not going to stop at this point when they are trying to survive.

You're also assuming that everyone who lands on a QVC channel is an established customer and staying on the channel for some time. Neither of those assumptions are always correct.

It's business. EVERY company does it; online and instore they offer it. If you are tired of hearing it, there is an option but they aren't gonna stop cuz you don't like hearing it.
