Couponing Websites - Scaming Nest

Currently I am tracking many websites which gives coupons (free or for cash). I don't like the part where they ask for email/phone number upfront before displaying any offers. Its just like you have to drop your card before even you see what products are there inside. Its very nudging just like you have entered the store, you have enter your details in the register.

I don't understand the fact why the hell you need the email id/contact details. If I like the store, I will come again. Have an option to subscribe (and unsubscribe) to the email newsletter. If I like, I will subscribe to that section and officially say yes to receive your email. Remember the recent hack on Sosasta.com database hack. These websites can be easily hacked and your emails can be spammed any time.

Also there is another offers going on in mydala.com. They are offering the chance to win a product at a very low price. That's understandable when so many people are agreeing to buy goods at a very lower price. The point of contention is why the hell are you not allowing to use the existing points which I have accrued from the past deals and not won anything. First of all if you compare, these deals have got better traction than any other deals on their website. We understand that you need cash, but what about the cash we gave you before.
