As an MOT-Reminder Member we will also email you regular special offer discounts from a host of high street names.

No thanks, I'll use a calendar

Scoobs · 30-01-12, 04:57 PM

You can opt out though.

There's no obligation to use it. If a calendar works for you mate

How much do you bet that your email address will be sold on.

You get nothing for nothing, and this is just a good example of an email harvesting system, a very good one as they have enough info to make it a VERY targeted list.

They can sort on Postcode, or they can do make and/or model of cars.

They can sell your MOT date to second-hand car places so they can contact you around the date of MOT in case you fail.

As said above - its less effort to add it to a calendar.
