Direct Mail or Telephone Marketing:If you shop at the MCM or Private Sales stores and wish to be removed from the list of customers that receive direct mail or telemarketing calls, please either write to MCM Customer Care at travel@mcmtours.at (Hoeglwoertweg 29, A-5020 Salzburg.

“NO MAIL OFFERS” (if you don’t want to receive offers by mail); “NO PHONE OFFERS” (if you don’t want to receive offers by phone); “NO PHONE OR MAIL OFFERS” (if you don’t want to receive either).

We appreciate your patience and understanding in giving us time to carry out your request.
