Goes with the old saying..nothing is free. On this site free money=vendor contact...que sera its part of life.
Only 1,000?
One of the emails I received included the email address of 50 other brides. This makes a bit uncomfortable. While I am comfortable with my contact info being shared with reputable vendors, I'm not happy with it being shared to anyone who happens to have also registered for the contest.
OOh my valenia! That is a good point...people need to learn the beauty of BCC
I know which e-mail Valenia is referring to - in my email address is my last name and my employer. Not good!! Everybody now knows our info! I'm really not happy right now.
I would email that vendor and tell them what they did! They might have no clue!
Debbie08, I did email them and told them that next time they ought to send individually or use BCC to be more professional. Personally, I'd prefer it if LIW sent emails on behalf of vendors instead of giving up our addresses. (Plus it would give them more control, and ability to charge!)
Valenia - good thinking!!!!! I second that!!!
OMG i am still going through my mail and I must've recived another 10 from vendors! how annoying---the ones I received only had my address on it though?? Maybe they caught on to the BCC concept!!
Great Idea Valenia!
Same here. I signed up yesterday and have gotten 25 emails between last night and today! Ahhhhhhhh
Yeah, I've been getting them too! I would have never entered the contest if I knew I would have gotten this much email! I understand that they need to have the advertising to get the money but I can't take the vendor spam! I'm hoping the vendors remove me from their mailing lists when I kindly ask them to do so.
I am wil you Teri - I have been getting them too and I am married for 2 months too!!! I usually use a fake email address or my junk email address for stuff like that but I figured what the heck - it's LIW and I never get wedding junk mail and when I signed up I gave my email address. I hate when promotions don't tell you they share your email address (the little check box on the bottom).
In the Mix Djs sent me an email...I sent them one back saying I am no longer a bride to be and they told me that Long Island weddings put my name on a list requesting information? WTH?
