How do I stop credit card companies from sending me mail everyday?

Every time I check the mail I have at least 2 promotional envelopes trying to coerce me into opening up a credit card. These go straight to the trash. Most of the time it is MasterCard and American Express. I currently have a Citi Bank credit card, Chase Freedom, and Southwest Airlines card open.
I checked my credit report just now and saw a lot of "soft promotional hits" on my credit from MasterCard.
How does this happen and how do I stop this?

You can call the credit agencies and ask them to remove you from promotional offers or something. I have it on my Equifax account.

File for bankruptcy or just generally destroy your credit score. They'll leave you alone.

I used to get them almost daily, I did the prescreen opt out and asked the Direct Merchants arse. to not send me junk mail in general, and that really dried up my mail.
Pasted below is info on the DMA from the FTC page. Do it in the names of all in the household who get mail. It's worth the $1 each. It's been way more than 5 years, and I think it is still working for us.
