I cancelled quite a few unnecessary credit cards - easy enough to do on the phone. Takes about 5 minutes per card. I also had a credit union account from a long time ago that I closed out over the phone. They'll mail me a check with the balance that I hope to put into my regular checking account with a big bank. I guess I'm going against the trend right now with the 'Occupy Wall St' movements :)
Also spent a few minutes trying to redeem credit card points and airline miles. Credit card turned out to be easy since it had a cash-back option. Airline miles were a pain - many programs don't seem to have a gift card option and take up to 8 weeks to deliver merchandise. That's too late for me. Thankfully, didn't have a whole lot of them left.
