I am not receiving my Newsletter

It could be that your server is blocking emails sent to you from YEI.

Some servers see the YEI newsletter as spam – words like discounts, offers etc.  As pensioner discounts are part of YEI’s core offering, it is difficult not to use these words in a newsletter.  If your server does not deliver your YEI newsletter, YEI receives a message that your “email address does not exist”.    The system then automatically takes you off our database. 

To ensure that the You’ve Earned It newsletter reaches your inbox, you need to whitelist the YEI email address

  • Please add the YEI email address (info@youve-earned-it.co.za ) to your address book.
  • Please request your server to whitelist the YEI address info@youve-earned-it.co.za .
  • Please click on this link  to view a document that gives you step-by-step instructions for address book/contact list additions for some of the larger email service providers and spam filters that you might be using e.g. Gmail, Hotmail, Live, Yahoo, Outlook etc. 
  • Hint: Wherever you see [email address] in the step-by-step instructions, please change email address to info@youve-earned-it.co.za

We hope that this assists.
