SNCF Spam
 

Tres amusement,

I just received an advert from SNCF - in French yet.

Anyone else been subjected to this new venture?

Have had spam from trenitalia and some Italian hotels I queried 2 years ago. Fortunately, yahoo allows me to label it "SPAM" and be done with it.

Because I ordered PREM tickets, I regularly receive SNCF advertisements. They are and they are not spam, since you probably used the SNCF site; they are not mailing something blindly as is the case with true spams. On the other hand, they are spam to the degree that you do not appreciate their mailings.

Yes I get them all the time and find them informative. There should be an opt out somewhere on the email. Its french law. If you dont want to get them any more look down at the bottom of the email in the small text. It should explain how to opt out.

yes, I get SNCF advertising emails because I signed up for them to send me specials, etc. It isn't spam. Yes, I guess it would be in French since they are the French railways.

Now that you mention it, after I bought some PREM tkts online, I did receive French language info on SNCF specials, for a few months afterward. They must have stopped when I did not purchase any more tickets. I, however, agree w/Michael, in that I did not consider it spam. To me, it falls in the same category as the announcement of specials that I receive from hotels where I have stayed. Sometimes, it is useful and when it is not, I delete it. I guess spam is in the eye of the beholder.

I received them after I bought tickets online. There's an unsubscribe link in each one, and it actually works. :)

I get LOTS of email from the SNCF, some of which I signed up for as a Maximiles participant and some of which I think just comes to me because I buy so many tickets. It doesn't bother me much, and sometimes I actually get offers that save me money, so I'm not complaining! I wouldn't characterize it as SPAM.It's all in French of course.

By the way, ira, it's "très amusant," not "très amusement."

I receive SNCF emails too. And I did buy PREM tickets recently. I find the emails allright as they advertise some nice fares. I'm just sorry I can't take advantage of them.

Thank you StCirq. That will teach me to check my spelling. :)
