Register to have your name removed from mailing lists.

• 1. The National Do Not Mail List, offered by DirectMail.com - makes the list available to mailing list owners and users for one reason only: so they can remove (or add) your name to their lists based on your stated preferences. When you complete the online National Do Not Mail List form, you can indicate if there are any mailings you would like to receive (a list is provided). You can choose as many or as few-or none-as you want. 
• 2. The second service is offered by the Direct Marketing Association, and charges $1. You can register online or by regular mail. Your request is good for five years, and you can let them know what mail you want to get as well as what you don't want. (Note: Neither DirectMail.com nor the Mail Preference Service can guarantee that your name will be removed from ALL mailing lists on which you appear. Therefore you may want to try some of the suggestions stated below as well.)

You can contact these mailers directly and ask to have your name removed -Valassis/Red Plum and Valpak.
