Hmm, started a couple of hours ago... I've since received over 30+ emails from StraighterLine, some are congrats for finishing the classes, others are reminders for me to complete the classes (labs, I haven't started them yet), and a couple more mentioning I'm so close to completing (Philosophy, Stats - I did all 3 classes and passed only the Business Stats).  

Anyways, I haven't used them since I did 34 or so classes with them in 2016 and now I'm getting so much spam today!!  What's up with them?  Are they looking to get previous students to take newer classes from them?  If so, they should send out BETTER DEALS instead of these spam emails!  That's not the way to get more business, by spamming people...

I suspect this is an accidental email blast rather than a deliberate marketing ploy.

You’re right though, better deals would bring them more business!
