WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?!?!?! Now we HAVE to join one of their other programs to be called "ACTIVE". That is not my definition of "ACTIVE" member!!!

I got the letter as well.

I wrote the webmaster and told him/her I always click the links and do the searches or whatever..but I already belong to the programs he wants us to join..so now what? (which I do belong to the programs).
Still waiting to hear back.

Even if I didn't belong to the programs..if you are clicking on the emails they send and taking part I think that should mean you are active!

I absolutely agree! You should not HAVE to join another program to be called "active". And, like you brought up - what if you are already a member?? Or don't WANT to win $50 worth of AVON?? (No offense Avon!)
