So I was in my email and I found an ad from Microcenter. Now I like Microcenter and I subscribed to their advertisements.
However I realized that they have several of my emails so I would go and delete one of them.
So I clicked on the Unsubscribe/Modify link in the email.
It takes me to a site that has my email address and zip code filled in and asks me to type in my email again for verification.
Why? I mean – you people already filled in the form. Clearly I got here from my own email. So great – assholes making it hard for me to unsubscribe.
So I cut and paste the email and hit next.
Then I get a POP UP ALERT saying: To update your subscriptions you must provide your email address.
Hey assholes – I already did!
But I do it – I type it in again – two more times.
Now I am at a list of 10 newsletters with a checkbox next to one marked Subscribe.
So I check Unsubscibe and I get another POP UP ALERT that says:
“Can’t select both options – select either one”
Are you kidding me? So I have to uncheck Subscribe and THEN check Unsunscribe?
It has to be on purpose because how can they be smart enough to write a script but now know what a RADIO BUTTON is?
SO I carefully uncheck Subscribe and then check all do the Unsubscribe buttons when I get to this:
Please note: If you are unsubscribing from postal offers, enter the name and address information as it appears on the most recent advertisement you received.
That’s right- to opt out of their mailings you have to type in exactly what they send you.
Microcenter – you are grade A marketing assholes!
