RE: Changing the settings so you won't get mail. We have had to make the change numerous times. The settings somehow revert back to receiving mail.
I just renewed my basic GS membership, since it, without notice, had expired. After your post, I went into my account to review the settings. "Magically" my settings had been revised to include all kinds of unwanted junk. Oddly enough, the one important choice, "renew notice" was something they just couldn't seem to get right. That said, in the past, I have successfully eliminated a truly irritating blizzard of junk mail from all the GS related companies.
I guess the most amazing part of the whole situation is that a company that's this big, isn't aware enough to monitor their own performance. If you spend an extended period of time, bombarding a customer with junk mailings and e-mails, and receive absolutely no positive response, how smart is it to continue harassing the same individual? At some point intelligent companies catch on to the fact that junk mailing is going the way of VCRs and flip phones. My local post office ends up with hundreds of pounds of junk mail, filling the recycling bins, and stacks high on every flat surface, every day! The best days are when phone books get delivered. There are hundreds of them laying all over, as a huge percentage of the box holders have no interest in dragging them home.
