Annoying "Book your low fare to X!" emails
Every time I make the mistake of browsing for flights while logged in, I get an annoying follow-up email telling me to book whatever I searched for but didn't book right then. These emails are completely useless and very annoying.
Is there any way to disable them?

Set up up your email filters and you won't see it.

Southwest's new tactic is "That $X flight from A to B (ABC) is ready and waiting."
Buying a flight is not like leaving a website without buying a bag of pretzels. If someone leaves a site without buying a flight, there's a good reason for it.
swaMark PLEASE make a way to opt out of these emails.

What I "love", having been A-Llist+ since its inception is the "Have you booked your hotel/rental car?" E-mails, as if I'd forget. But like the "Book your low fare to ..." E-mails, I just ignore those too. NBD.
But we FFs have to remember there's a lot more of us who don't fly as often as we do, and it's in WN's fiscal favor to send these.

It could be even a bit worse:
One hotel program sent me an email "still looking to book a stay in XXX?" when I had already booked a stay there during my very first search, and I had gotten a confirmation email for that hotel booking about an hour or two earlier!
At least Southwest doesn't seem to do that.
