Hey I'm just checking in with your account status. Definitely just that, not hoping you'll but anything...

All emails companies send you are designed to get you to spend money.

It's an ad.

Of course if that ad comes with a discount I might not be unhappy to get it. But if a(n) ~~status message~~ ad comes in reminding me of pizza and it's on a day they want me to pay full price for dominos. Then I don't want that message.

Either I'll feel hungrier or poorer.
