    So, you're not going to claim your wonderful prize of a discount code then? I just LOVE getting those discount codes! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I wish companies would [STRIKE]spam me more[/STRIKE] offer me more of these wonderful 'gifts'!

    I hate this - and companies should know it's the fastest route to an unsubscribe/unfollow/unlike and permanent negative opinion of their product.

    You would think that these companies would realise by now that we only want their free stuff and aren't interested in the fact that they're a business and run competitions as a Marketing strategy, shame on them.

    Seriously, yes it's disappointing, but there's a world of difference between SPAM and Marketing. They are a business and they're trying to make a living, just as we all are at the end of the day. The email got your attention and got you talking about it, so it worked :)
