Something akin to what Amazon does (tracking what items you've viewed or searched for on their site) and then sending some offers/suggestions, is what NewEgg has to do with those coupons. Sending those coupons after the fact seems more like being ridiculed because you payed more then they were willing to let it go for.That's happened in every set of coupons I've gotten. Everything from "Hey, you just got a Sansa Clip. You must like MP3 players, here's a code for an Ipod." to "you upgraded to 16GB RAM? Everyone needs more. Here's a code." I think they kinda need to refine that thing.

Dear <name retracted>,
Interested in Computer Cases? Take a look at a few of the most popular items in this category on Newegg.com:
If you have already completed your Computer Cases purchase, please simply disregard this e-mail. We thank you sincerely for shopping at Newegg!
Dear <name retracted>,
As a small token of our thanks for your recent purchase of a ADATA Premier Pro SP900 ASP900S3-64GM-C 2.5" MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), please use these bonus coupon codes to save a few dollars as you finish your new computer build or upgrade!
As a small token of our thanks for your recent purchase of a Polk Audio PSW Series PSW505 12" Powered Subwoofer Each, here are some bonus coupon codes that should help you save a few dollars as you finish your shopping!
**PROMO CODES ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE and may only be redeemed using the Newegg account attached to this e-mail address. Items sold by Newegg Marketplace sellers do not qualify. Not valid on open box and refurbished items.
I think we're talking about different things. I've gotten emails from just looking at things. Example:
The ones I'm talking about look like this:
While that email just happened to have a code for Samsung SSDs, it was tucked in with some external hard drive codes, fan codes, RAM, etc. I mean, there may be some search/view tracking involved, it just seems kinda redundant. (Also, the SSD was free with the little nettop I'm using as an HTPC. Newegg LOVES me. Or my money... )
Which is exactly what I was referring to as well. Coupons for something that you had just purchased. Sure, there may be coupons in there for something else you might need, but for me, when I made a purchase I try to get everything at once. So those coupons coming after the fact, are useless to me since I already purchased what I wanted.

I hate when Newegg sends you personal coupons on stuff you bought already. Hey since you bought a Polk Audio sub from us, here's our way of saying thanks by giving you a personal coupon for 40% off on select subs. Like I need to buy another one
