Targeted by whom for what?
A lot of the targeting is by partners of the cards, not by the cards themselves.
How many airline and hotel programs do you belong to that have credit cards but whose credit cards you haven't
ever applied for?
For example, I surmise the key to getting tareted for the 80k Priority Club offer is to have been a member of Priority Club for a while, and having ignored multiple requests for the 60k (untargeted) offer.
OTOH, obviously, if you went for the public CO 50k offer already, you won't be targeted for the targeted-only re-introduction to that offer going on now.
And do you allow every program you join to send you junk mail from their partners? You have to allow their partners to send you stuff for their credit partners to send you targeted stuff. People who ask not to be sent all the marketing stuff aren't sent targeted marketing stuff. You have to take lake full of bathwater to get the baby...
