I really don't like this.
First of all there's no need for it. I have been using AOL for years, and rarely have non-span e-mails gone through spam, and once I say it's not spam, it remembers and stops putting it there. Things like catalogues and store e-mails rarely go into my spam folder.
This looks just like an opportunity for spammers to have that kind of false reassurance, that since it's paid it must be legit.
But even if that won't happen, it looks like a pety attempt of a huge, rich corporation to squeeze out even more money for nothing. Remember AOL is part of Time Warner. And anyways, AOL charges almost $30 a month! Don't they make enough?
Also, it looks like an easy way for other stores to ambush people with junk mail electronically as well as through snail mail.
