Probably not. I'd have thought this was easy to check up on. Who would
buy anything cold emailed to you in any case.

Apart from the fact that some do....

There are hundreds of thousands of "savvy" shoppers who sign up for
every genuine email offer that they see. (as in, always sign up to
receive offers by mail, not accept every offer)

Usually the offers are from retailers who charge top RRP in the first
place and the offer just brings down the price to what other retailers are
charging

In my sisters case it's restaurant offers

buy one get one free (drinks not included) type deals

If you are going anyway, they are worth having

But if it forces you to choose chain restaurant rather then local
independent, perhaps not

But we have that argument even without the voucher (I don't know why she
likes going to the mega chains, she's usually far more discerning in her
purchases)
