Email, email! Have you updated your email?

Hello wooters! We’re on a mission to get you to update your email address on your Woot! account.

Did you know that our daily digest, newsletters, customer support emails, and giveaway winner notifications go to the email address on your Woot! account and not your Amazon login email address if used/different? That’s right. Even if you use Login with Amazon (LWA), please keep your email address on your woot.com account up to date.

So keep your email address up to date and you won’t be so surprised when you get an email from us.

no longer have access to that email account,

Why must you do this, you ask? It’s simple. Amazon prides itself on protecting customer data. Third party companies, like Woot, that use Amazon’s Login with Amazon widget do not have access to your login credentials. You type it in to the code/widget they give us, it goes to Amazon for verification, and we get back a yes or no. That’s it. We do not have a way to view your Amazon login email.

Older Woot! Accounts: If you joined before Login with Amazon and now use LWA, please make sure to update the email address on your https://www.woot.com/ account.

Woot! Accounts Created with LWA: If you’ve used LWA from the start with Woot!, your login email was saved to your Woot! account. HOWEVER, if you update your email on Amazon, it does not update on Woot! You must also update your email on Woot!

Forgotten Password: If you’ve forgotten your password to your Woot! account, you can use the “Forgot your password?” link and an email will be sent to let you reset the password. If you no longer have access to the email account on your Woot! account, please see instructions below to ask for assistance is resetting your email.


So let’s get started so you don’t miss out on our funny subject lines.

Which would explain why @ThunderThighs still doesn’t have a full pair of shoes.

I saw a single shoe on my walk earlier…maybe it will fit TT.

Maybe there’s a reason it’s single. Poor hygiene, anti-social, can’t relate to its opposite shoe…

Seems fair to me. I think I should get two refunds as I never signed up for email notifications of any kind.

Thanks!
