Do you understand how your two sentences are in total opposition to the other?
If who gets the deal and why they get it is not important, and you're the one getting the deal, and you want it to stop, then you are asking that you don't get the deal. However, if you never got the deal in the first place, then you wouldn't be asking the second question, which means understanding who gets it and why is actually important...as there are likely people that feel the direct opposite of you, that were going to make a purchase and now they see that some people get better deals than others and want to know how they can get in on the better deal.
Confused yet? I am.
This is another untested or minimally tested function that is probably "not as they intended" for it to happen. I say "probably", because they might actually have the opinion that offering the deal to rotating groups of people, for example, everyone with email addresses starting with letters M through Z in one promotion, and letters A through L in a different promotion, then attempt to gauge which promotion sold better. At this point, it's all speculation as to why some get the advertisement and some do not, which makes the whole campaign an ineffective marketing communication, as there is more confusion and customer upsetment happening than I'm sure they'd like for there to be...
