    Just thought it was worth mentioning that I received a newsletter which contained my name in a winners list so perhaps it is worth opening some of the emails.

    Working on the theory I'd get rid of the ones that are only for new sign up, so I can sign up again;) and get rid of the ones that aren't doing anything.

    OK there will be some that I will have to sign up to again, but it might make me top of the list:rolleyes:


    does it tho or do companies favor original members , ie: assuming newbies have joined for the comp? or do they really not care and just shove everyone in together and pick a name? :confused:

  • LOL I get hundreds every day but I dont open them, I can usually tell by the title if its a winning email or not and you also start to reconise some of the newsletters etc, I just scan down the list, delete the majority of them and open any that im not sure of to be on the safe side.;)

    Back and hoping in 2011!
    Thank you to all posters!
