Punchbowl advertises you can send free ecards with no membership but that is completely false. After you've gone through all of the steps of choosing and creating your card, entering the recipient and your contact info THEN a pop-up appears "your card can't be sent without signing up" (after they get your info of course). This is deceiving and misleading customers so they can just get your information. Their statement on their own site says "Personalize and send beautiful invitations and greeting cards for FREE with Punchbowl®." NOTHING at all about needing a trial or subscription. Be honest and let customers know up front where it can easily be seen that they must sign up before wasting our time. I get enough junk mail and spam texts already. I know customer's contact information are sold to marketing companies without the customer's permission. Your competitors display their subscription notice yet Punchbowl hides it. That is wrong.
