Empty offers

Hi all,

I'm sure this happens to just about everyone, and while I know it is simply a matter of deleting the offer and moving on, I just wanted to vent about these "incredible, not to be missed" offers I receive via email for the free play promos. Received one from Platinum Play (Fortune Lounge) today that offered $200 free money to play with. Of course I already had an account with them, so the offer was disallowed for me. Why do they bother sending these emails when all it is going to do is piss me off when they inform me that I am ineligible for the bonus because I already have an account?? Live chat told me that it was sent by an affiliate. Don't the sites advise the affiliates about who is already a customer before they send these offers out?? Mass emails to people who are going to be denied the bonus offer anyway only builds anomosity toward the site. I know they say any publicity is good publicity, but in a business like this where competition is so keen, I don't understand why they would want to create a problem for themselves.

I know it is a minor thing, but it's sort of like waking up christmas morning and finding presents with your name on them only to be told that they aren't yours. I removed myself from the list, but it just seems like bad business to me. Any thoughts anyone??
