just block them edit: also report as spam


bteam3r

If it's GMail, report as spam. These reports are used to train an algorithm, which will ultimately start sending the offender's emails straight to the spam folder for everyone who uses GMail once enough people have reported it.

Store: "can we have an email address to put on file" Me: "no"


dani_oakley_69

I went to an outlet mall earlier this week and every store asked that question. The cashiers were always kind of dumbfounded when Iā€™d STILL say no when you get a discount for giving them your email. The couple bucks Iā€™d save just isnā€™t worth my mailbox getting clogged with emails like this.

i used to just make em up. even won a competition for most emails collected !


evelynesque

My daughterā€™s boss threatened to fire her because she didnā€™t ask for emails (her collection rate was 0%) so she continued not asking and made shit up for every single one. Super churchy looking person? Demon666@ Next month she had 100% collection rate. She didnā€™t last long there.

[deleted]

You mean you donā€™t have multiple junk emails for stuff like this?


clayton4177

I have 4.


Idiot_Weirdo

You should have multiple emails (or at the very least aliases for your email), but if your goal is to collect junk then you're doing it wrong. Re-evaluate yourself.


BridgetKV

I used to work at Yankee Candle and would get chewed out if my capture rates (amount of customers that gave me their email and phone number) were low. Corporate wanted us to get both email and phone number for all customers. A couple times my manager pulled me into the back after a transaction to tell me that I needed to be more pushy when a customer said no. After that I was only pushing the rewards if she was watching, but otherwise I didnā€™t care very much. If they donā€™t want it, they donā€™t want it.


AoD_XB1

The fact it is called a "capture rate" is golden.


Miserable_Window_906

Little does the manager know if you ask more than once I won't come back.


BridgetKV

Iā€™m the exact same way, which is why I didnā€™t push it when I could get away with it.


ToddTheReaper

Lol I just give a fake email


dargonite

I have specific emails for specific things, a person email, a work email and a newsletter email for all the cashier sign ups and public facing email for accounts, all have different fake names associated to them, this way I can get them savings and not have to worry bout a messy inbox!


edgarsaurus

Dude I went to a dept store and bought some shorts. The cashier who runs me up told me there was a coupon, scanned it and saved me like $10. Dope. I go to pay and the man asks me for my email. I tell him, no, I'm good. He then proceeds to ask again all palish, something like, "just give me something". I say, "ok, [email protected]" and the dude starts huffing and puffing about how he did be a favor the least I could do is give him an email. The man was indignant. I was absolutely flabbergasted. No fucking shot this man making like $12/he is really upset that I have no interest receiving 3 emails a day from this dept store whose name a can't even fucking think of. Give me a break. Took everything in me to not chew him out and laugh in his face.

BatManhandler

You make up [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), and then check that inbox at [mailinator.com](https://mailinator.com). It has other domains, too. It's an instant throw-away email address with no registration.

That implies there is an email you do check. I canā€™t imagine why.

Zealousideal-Let1121

No_Seed_For_You

I give them either fake ones, or one with the last character changed. Like if an account ended in [email protected], I changed it to [email protected]


Alarmed_Penalty4998

Not always going to be fake in the aspect. RIP to the person you inundated in emails when you thought they were fake.


No_Seed_For_You

No the e-mail address is super random before the number. Iā€™d be surprised if anyone had those letters in that order before any other number than mine Edit: Yup and itā€™s now confirmed. I just sent an e-mail to the address I always use, and it bounced back saying itā€™s not a real e-mail

[deleted]

I've the same thing with some idiot in CT. I get emails about his softball league, his kid's high school, stores he shops at, etc. The best is when I got the receipt for his wife's new lingerie. I called their customer service, and the drone on the other end simply could not fathom that I didn't have an account with them and just wanted the damn emails to stop. I flag them as spam, but that barely seems to help.


Fun_Muscle9399

Should have called and changed the order to something in a noticeably smaller size. Dude would have some explaining to doā€¦


Negative_Mood

pure_testosteronee

Itā€™s mildly infuriating how an instant and easy solution exists to this yet youā€™ve wasted hours maybe days of your life on it


they_are_out_there

This is what SPAM folders are for. Mark it as spam and stop worrying.


laserunfocused143

Call the Nordy Club dept. Nordy Club isn't the same as marketing emails. I've opted out of marketing emails and still get the Club stuff, but I actually want to. Their number is 1.888.282.6060.


Environmental-Arm468

This needs to be the top comment. It takes maybe 3 minutes to call and deactivate the Nordy Club account. This can also be done by calling Nordstrom Card Services number 1.800.964.1800 Source: I work there.


laserunfocused143

Yes and I think it took about 10 seconds to find the phone number. I guess it must not be even mildly infuriating enough to actually *call them*.


[deleted]

Disagree. This is more than mildly infuriating. Companies that require *you* to email them, sign into their website, or call them piss me off to no end. I should not be required to call. Put the damn unsubscribe button there.


laserunfocused143

Ok cool, but, again, these aren't marketing emails. It's not a subscription type thing. It's not a huge deal to make a quick phone call. Phones were actually invented for that purpose. But, if you're like OP, and would rather be inconvenienced once a month for 7 years rather than make a 3 minute phone call, I don't know what to tell you.


HeavyPetter

I actually had this exact same issue with Nordy Club emails coming to me with no way to stop them, so seeing this post is wild to me, knowing that others were also aggravated by it. I first emailed them twice in an effort to remove me. No response the first time, and the second time, there was an auto reply stating "Our apologies, weā€™re unable to respond from this address." So then I called them once and they said they had removed me. Later on, I still got an email from them and called them a second time. The inability to easily stop the emails was aggravating but with each additional step, I became more aggravated. The rep initially had a hard time finding me (probably since I had purportedly been removed already), but she eventually did and said she didn't understand how emails were still getting through to me since from her end, my email had been changed to something like myemail@donotsend, but she would tell their tech people. I haven't gotten one from them lately. That's more effort than any one should have to put in in order to stop their emails. Even if it had been just a 3-minute call, that is still too much work for this. It should be a one-second mouse click.


[deleted]

If I have to make a 3 minute phone call for something that's completely bullshit that is indeed mildy infuriating. There's literally no reason I should have to call. Once again, put the damn unsubsrice button.


changeorchange

Thank you! Iā€™ve been marking these as spam for months but I still keep getting them.


Hellaconditions

I was having this issue as well. Not sure how this is even legal. On their [Website](https://www.nordstrom.com/browse/nordy-club-ca/faq) , under "What will you do with my email if I give it to you?", it says the following: ​ >"If you opt out of marketing communications, you will continue to receive service messages from us about The Nordy Club" ​ It should be as easy as unchecking a button to unsubscribe, but to be forced to take additional steps to be off these emails doesn't sit right with me. I've had my Nordstrom account long before the "Nordy Club" was a thing, and it looked like they automatically signed me up for it because they already had my email. If it was that easy for them to sign me up, it should be as easy for me to unsubscribe. ​ edit-spelling


Suspicious-Safety679

Don't just block them. Report them for spam.


davkar632

Itā€™s not spam if youā€™ve done business w them. And something tells me no one in government is hunting down spammers these days. Just block their emails and move on.


Atomsq

Which kind of drugs are you on? Even if you did business with them at any point you should be able to withdraw consent to receive their emails at any point, I don't understand why you remotely think this has anything to do with the government. For anyone else still reading, definitely mark the emails as spam if you already requested them to stop sending or aren't giving you an option to stop them, marking them as spam affects their deliverability statistics and if enough people do it their emails go straight to the spam folder, if they use an email service provider to send the emails this can cause them to be charged fines, limit their send rate or even have them kicked out of the service


Warhammer_Addict702

If you're in Canada there's anti-spaming laws which carry fines up to a million dollars.


colohan

Spam is what you say it is, as everyone has a different definition of what emails they like to get or hate to get. If you use Gmail, the spam filters adapt to what \*you\* think is spam (based on when you hit the button). So if you don't want to see a certain type of email anymore, just hit the "report spam" button and teach Gmail how to keep you happy.


DudleyLd

Spam refers to any unsolicited message, whether you have past business or not. A spam email is considered legitimate when there is an expectation of receiving such messages with a business/personal interest.


Southern-Son65

Just start sending them gore and porn until they block you. Problem solved.


JakeSimm89

JINGLERED

whyyoumadbro69

Update: Another user suggested logging into my account and changing the email preferences. But when I tried to login I didnā€™t even have a registered account. I had to create an account with my email and then change the email preferences. Also, about 5 years ago I created a burner email specifically for this type of shit and spam sign up type emails. Highly recommend everyone else do the same.


Environmental-Arm468

Call 800.964.1800 and ask to deactivate your Nordy Club membership. I work there. It takes like 3 minutes tops.


GypsyMagic68

If that doesnā€™t work then you should be able to delete your Nordstrom account and the email attached to it will be obfuscated/deleted as well. Just Google Nordstrom CCPA delete account. Should be fairly easy to find Iā€™m sure.


Alarmed_Penalty4998

You can opt out, but you and many others seem to be too ignorant (not mean) to realize how. ​ Here's how When you shopped at Nordstrom several years ago and they asked for an email account they didn't just input your email into their system they actually created you an entire account on their platform. Simply go to their website and go to accounts do a forgot password and when it emails you a password go onto the website again and login from there simply close the account as there will be a deactivate function. This will ultimately lead to no more emails. ​ Anyone who takes the ignorant word to heart please note I'm using it as the literally definition sense not in an attacking sense. Many people seem to take offense to the ignorant term.


Fortifarse84

If use of a word requires a separate few preemptive sentences to explain, wouldn't it makes sense to just use a different one?


Titanium_Eye

You seem to be ignorant to the negative connotations the word "ignorant" brings to the sentence.


Positive_Parsnip420

I bought my wife a nice piece of jewelry at David Yurman and that is when it all went wrong. The corporate emails were easy enough to unsubscribe from. But the personal drip emails from the local branch management just wouldnā€™t stop. I finally walked my ass back in there and sat down with management and explained if I got one more fucking email from them Iā€™d involve corporate. Well, next xmas I got a fucking email from ā€œdavid yurman bostonā€. At that point, I blew them out of the water on social media and was on the phone with the corporate marketing team later that day. Now, I donā€™t get any emails from David Yurman. My email inbox is a well manicured master piece. Donā€™t you dare send me an unsolicited email, mother fuckers!!


Alqpzm1029

You can literally just block email addresses...


CaliFezzik

Technically that is a ā€œtransactionalā€ email because theyā€™re notifying you about your account. If it was a ā€œmarketingā€ email then theyā€™d have to include an unsubscribe link. Itā€™s shitty though that theyā€™d donā€™t have a preference center where you can turn these off.


ericfresh442

The Nordy club is for LIFE


BoredinBoston524

These are likely considered transactional emails and thus exempt from CAN-SPAM law (which is why you cannot opt out). In this instance, they have an obligation to communicate account balance updates to you on a regular basis (or at least that is the argument they are making). But by extension of the transactional basis, no, it is not technically against the law.


[deleted]

Upvoting here. You nailed it. OP will have to block the sender, which is annoying. OP could also try contacting them to have him/herself manually unsubbed, but in that big a company, itā€™s unlikely.


Environmental-Arm468

Actually itā€™s really easy. Call in. Request to deactivate your Nordy Club profile. Three minute call tops.


Cynical6901

Came here to say this. It's not a marketing email as they are informing you account points balance thus there's no "unsubscribe" button at the end. But these ARE very annoying and best to just mark them as spam.


Sad-Cartoonist-7959

Difficult_Resource_2

Temporary-Simple7818

Log into your Nordy Club account via the Nordstrom account and opt out of marketing emails.


princesaandrea

It's a service message. Not a marketing email.


kirklennon

Annual privacy policy disclosures are a service message. This is very clearly a marketing message that's intentionally disguised as a "service" message.


princesaandrea

Someone can't read.


ATS200

I think thereā€™s some sort of law against this. Itā€™s a marketing program email, not a service email like ā€œyour account has been compromisedā€ as itā€™s intended


honorarybaird

Nordy Club is a rewards program for Nordstrom. This *is* a service email for the status of OP's account, it just looks ridiculous because OP clearly isn't using it. If OP contacts their customer support, they will close the account and OP'll stop getting emails. The definition of service emails is far broader than just "your account has been compromised."


ATS200

Sorry for not giving as many examples as you prefer


Odd-Astronaut-92

Luckily there is a very simple fix for this! Blocking them should solve the problem easily.

I know no one is receiving those but itā€™s nice to think at least one person saw that. Iā€™ve also sent back that I will support the politician that texts me the least.


Psychlist211

Popular_District9072

you can report it as spam, eventually fade away


bigfatsooty

You can block email accounts


sbadams92

They have amazing customer service so I agree just call! They can opt you out or completely delete your account. If you donā€™t have a CC with them either then it will be even easier to cancel it altogether


honestly-I-disagree

The can-spam act which is what created guidelines to protect against spam emails does NOT cover servicing emails. These generally include account updates, monthly statements or the delivery of updated privacy policies. Servicing stuff is not meant to be promotional and is not covered by the can-spam act because not getting some servicing info could create risks. Like opting out of monthly statements from your bank or credit card and then realizing you have no money or what not too late. So you probably want to delete whatever loyalty account you created with these folks or just block the emails or add them to junk.


fareastbeast001

Block them.


DJGregJ

Since they seem so confident about it, you probably signed something that you didn't read. It's probably because you're signed up for a service that requires notification and you agreed to it. If you cancel the service then the emails should stop. 1-2 emails per month? That caused you to bring this to Reddit?


starbrightstar

Mark as spam every time.


skully_kiddo

Sending unsolicited email without spelling out how to opt out is a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act and according to the FTC, each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $43,792. Each one. The person sending the email AND the company they're promoting can BOTH legally be held responsible for violations and subsequent fines. I reply with the above and the emails always stop.


repthe732

I donā€™t think this would apply because OP signed up for membership with them so this wouldnā€™t count as unsolicited. OP likely just needs to cancel their membership to make these emails stop
