Hi all,
Got this email yesterday from Cap-1, never seen anything like it from any bank. Card has been SD since Aug 18 after I paid off one of their BT offers, I read every email they send me... LOL

Huh? So now CCCs algorithms are tracking whether we open emails from them or not. Honestly, I'm shaking my head.
@gdale6 You better put a reminder on your calendar to open Cap One email before 05/28/20
That's insane, though 😐
My guess is this is addressing some issue that might have happened (or has been identified as a potential liability). If you don't open your emails often enough, the responsibility becomes yours and alerts will cease. Maybe someone claimed they missed a critical alert and the bank should have known that they weren't being read....
At first, I thought this was also a way to deal with dead email accounts, but just stopping sending doesn't really help
I got the same email. I plan on axing cap 1 pretty soon so I just deleted it.
I got the same email and my question is, how do they know if you opened the email? By default, many mail clients block object links which woudl be the only way C1 would know you actually viewed it (a linked picture in the HTML email was requested by your email viewer so it could be rendered). My clients all block those links.
They’re getting tired of your inattention. “Pay attention to us. Or else....”
I’ve never seen that either and it is strange that CC companies make note of whether or not we open their emails.... Next letter will say, “You need to stop throwing away your mailers from us if you wish to keep receiving email services.”
Really, if they want to start setting their money on fire snail-mailing notices to all of their CH, more power to them. I figured I was doing them a favor by allowing them to use my email service to communicate with me at near-zero cost.
