Could someone explain this to me? Are these gift cards?
No they're just ads for whatever starter bundle they have right now.
But how does the ex come in to it? Did they sign them up spam?
The ex is Charter Spectrum. It's a joke about how I cancelled my service with them
Oh my god, I'm such a fucking idiot! Thank you for you patience and sorry for being so slow!
Thank you for asking so I didn’t look like an idiot too! Wait…
You could very much harass an ex through charter spectrum junk mail though.
They likely had Spectrum as an Internet provider, but left them for a better one. Spectrum sends lots of spam in an attempt to bring them back like an ex-lover trying to win them back.
Thank you for explaining! I'm almost impressed by how thoroughly I missed the joke.
You made me chuckle. Glad you're honest about it
No. These are printed plastic advertisements delivered via the postal service. (Other companies might purchase small mini catalogs/coupon books, colorful envelopes, or eye-catching postcards for their mail-based advertisements.) These mailers are sent to many people. Most people refer to these mailers as "junk mail."
Spectrum is very bad about sending lots of these, as OP has shared.
