The funny thing is, American sends points data to my email. I wonder if that sort of thing could be leveraged for something similar.

- chrischen 5y agoAward wallet parses these emails as a workaround to the legal threats.
- ceejayoz 5y agoDo it enough and they'll stop. All of my Amazon order emails now only tell me the order number and the total cost, with zero information on what products are included.
- oh_sigh 5y agoI wonder if Amazon was worried about companies like Google mining sales data from emails? Or something along those lines
- ceejayoz 5y agoProbably. Capital One has a tool called "Paribus" that, if you connect your email, will monitor and get refunds if prices drop or the item doesn't arrive on time. They used to do it with Amazon; they'd tell you something didn't come in the Prime two day shipping window and give you a pre-prepared complaint to get a free month of Prime as compensation. I can't imagine Amazon liked it much.
- fault1 5y agoI think this was precisely the issue.
- vineyardmike 5y agoShopify offers to track packages if you link your email, so i assume it could be related.
- lmeyerov 5y agoIf it worked for AWS bills.. :)
- nunez 5y agoThis is how AwardWallet gets around Delta's ban on scraping. Forward your award summaries to them; they parse it and put it into their platform.
