Current opt-out methods for GEICO mail
-
Mail preference form
Go to GEICO's Communications Opt Out page. The information you enter is used to remove you from the mailing lists you select. Choose Marketing mails and calls for postal mail.
-
PaperKarma app
Photograph the GEICO mailer. PaperKarma files the opt-out for you.
Once you opt out of this sender, you can opt out of 100,000+ other mailers in the same app.
-
Phone
Call GEICO at +1-800-861-8380. Ask them to stop sending you marketing mail.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. Mail already in a print run can still arrive.
- Policy mail is separate. Stopping promotional offers does not stop bills, claims, or other policy mail if you have a policy.
- Prescreened offers are a different list. Firm offers of credit or insurance also run through OptOutPrescreen.
Why Do You Receive GEICO Mail?
GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company) sells auto, homeowners, and other personal insurance. Leo and Lillian Goodwin founded it in 1936. The GEICO group is wholly owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Coverage is available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The gecko and the cavemen still sell the brand. The mail is rate offers and the GEICO Now magazine.
You get that mail if they are trying to win the household as a customer, or if you already hold a policy and they still send marketing. The leftover offer is often a rate they still want you to compare.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
-
DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from GEICO as it is not an active member of the ANA.
-
OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
-
PaperKarma
For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops GEICO marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to the Communications Opt Out page, or call +1-800-861-8380, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of marketing mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until GEICO mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If a promotional packet arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. Policy mail can still arrive if you have coverage. Prescreened credit and insurance offers also run through OptOutPrescreen.
How do I stop GEICO mail for a previous resident?
Go to GEICO's Communications Opt Out page and include that person’s name and this address, or call +1-800-861-8380, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will GEICO mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Submit a new Communications Opt Out request for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
