Aqua "service" e-mails

I always turn all marking off as don't need to be spammed.
Two emails from Aqua today, one about I can use Google pay another I can use their instalment plans.
They class these as service mailings, but I classed them as marketing, as I wrong? (none of my other CC sent me anything like these e-mails).

    They are service emails. The lawyer is a new service offered by Aqua.

    The latter, instalment plans, is a service provided by Aqua, but it is true that Aqua sends its card holders "educational" emails constantly, that are not service emails at all, they are kind of chapters or lessons of how to improve their creditworthiness. And yet Aqua insists in sending them and there's no opt out possible and they argue they're service emails (they are not), and they're very irritating.
    It is IMO a price they make you pay, for holding a credit score improvement credit card - to receive all their "lessons"; just as the price for speeding or jumping a red light is to go on some of those paid "courses" which are just like fines combined with a 3-hour slot waste-your-time big-time lesson attendance. It is a price they make you pay for being a cardholder. Only solution to close the account.
