Shops pushing for your email address

Just say "no" ......

More and more shops are doing this - I too always decline because I am not sure how it will work if I need to return the item as I don't keep all my emails on my phone. These companies already have my email address as I also order online from them so I am not bothered about that. In fact, the marketing side of things didn't occur to me. I do think, in the longer term, e receipts will become the norm. Is it not more to do with cutting down on paper, like e bank and financial statements are more the norm now and you have to opt in for paper ones?

Have never had a receipt emailed to me or heard of this practice.

Me too, RustyBear - I keep one email address just for prospective junk.

I have an email address just for this, rbearshopping@... All the receipts and junk go in there, and it’s easy to delete the stuff I don’t want.

Just say I don’t want to give it. Simple. It’s an intrusion which is only for their benefit, just say no!

You can just say no thank you or if caught up in this unsubscribe. DH likes to subvert the system by giving them wrong numbers/addresses

I love receipts by email. I never mislay them, they’re easy to file and store , long may it last I say.

If you use hotmail you can unsubscribe from any email lists your on, often with one click or at worst use the block button and that stops them dead.

If asked in a shop for my email address, I say I don't have one. So far as I'm aware, it isn't yet compulsory! I don't give my phone number, either, unless there's a good reason it might be needed, e.g.: to arrange delivery, etc.

I tried many times but it was ignored.

Just unsubscribe.

I made the mistake many years ago once of giving my email address to a local hairdressers. I was deluged with rubbish from them and the only time it eventually stopped was when they closed for good.
