No need to feel bad about it.
Marketers know that a lot of people immediately unsubscribe but they also know not everybody will. They still turn a profit after the discount and also just made a sale!
Additionally, I wouldn't be surprised if some merchants pass along/sell your email address, since now its in their system.

Also: companies will fuck you over any chance they get. You're breaking no laws. Use every tactic you can to claw back any of your hard earned money you can. Also: don't use your real details to subscribe. It is best to have a burner spam email address, a burner prepaid sim card and use a made up address.

Exactly all of this. Don't feel bad about the shitty adversarial process the greedy fucks put you through. They started it and god damn it they deserve to be buried for it.

In 99% of online purchases you have to give them your email either way, so it doesn't really matter if you additionally sub to their newsletter.
