Downloading coupons
Frances | February 19, 2009
Someone asked me this week about downloading coupons and if I have to register for some of them, I thought you might be interested in my answer. My answer was most of the time. Most of the coupon sites at the very least require you to put in your name and email address. The reputable companies give you an opt in option. Typically I will opt in to their newsletters to get access to more coupons. So far, my junk mail has not been a problem, but I use the filtering email that I discuss later that helps out a lot.
Now there are sites that I do not like and do not pull coupons from unless I really want the coupon. There is one site that makes you go through tons of offers before you get to the coupon you want. It irks me to have to mark “no” to all the questions, who has time for that? I want to print my coupon, see an advertiser or two and go
Filtering Email
I have set up two accounts with hotmail. One is a junk filter and the other is my real email account. With an hotmail account you can forward the emails from several email accounts to one account. I only use the junk email account to sign up for coupons, sweepstakes, and free offers. The email can be filter as junk through the first account before it is sent along. If the email makes it through the first account I can always mark it as junk in the second. From time to time I will go into email folder of the junk email to check for emails that I may want.
