One thing I used to do (with AARP and with other companies who flooded our mailbox with unsolicited offers, advertisements and just plain garbage) was to seal up the usually-enclosed "postage paid" envelope and send back, without any return address or other identifier that would indicate who it came from. Sometimes I'd enclose the advertising blurb that accompanied the mailing but never the actual enrollment card. Gave me just a bit of pleasure to know that in a very small way I was inconveniencing the people who had inconvenienced me.
Apparently I was far from the only one. Over time the mailing companies made that more difficult; from actually requiring return postage to putting our name on the return envelope, coded stamps on the return envelope that I just assumed would identify me when I mailed it back (I always blacked it out before sending), etc. Don't see it anywhere near as much nowadays.
