Yesterday, I received a colorful, oversize coupon mailer from Amazon, promising lots of free money to spend on their website. Only upon opening it did I learn that the promised coupons were contingent upon:
- Selling my car
- Which I have owned for X period of time
- To the dealer from which I'd purchased it.
This is obnoxious on any number of levels:
- The dealer I used presumably sold my information to Amazon, even though I opted out of every "how we share your information" category they allowed me.
- Amazon obtained information about purchases I made with payment method, contact, and other information not linked to anything I've used with my Amazon account (I opt out of their information-sharing categories too), and
- Apparently, bezos & Co.'s almighty algorithms think brightly colored physical mail and a couple dozen bucks are all it'll take to convince me to trade the vehicle I own for another half-decade of debt.
I'm guessing they're also on to the fact that emails from Amazon go straight into my trash folder.
Just, yuck, all around.
