What's with this EverSave page popping up every time I log on?

I know it's associated with myLot because it doesn't happen on any other site. And, I know they are looking for sources of revenue - I don't begrudge them that. But, this thing LIES saying that I have entered erroneous login information and states that I need to look through their site to find what I'm trying to do. I'm sorry, that's not good business - that's deceit! Here is exactly what it says when it defaults to their page: "Ooops! Let's try that again. We had trouble processing your request for some reason. Please check out one of the following options to find what you were looking for: Today's Save - See what great Save we have to offer today. Recent Saves - Check out our recent Saves in Philadelphia. How The Save Works - Learn how the Save works. FAQs - Read the Save FAQs. Locations - check out the cities where you can use a Save. If you are not able to find what you're looking for, please contact us." Saying that they had trouble processing my request is a complete untruth. I backspace and hit enter again (without changing a thing!) and there I am on myLot's home page, no problem. But, people who don't know what's going on could be tricked into interacting with this setup and still not get on myLot until they leave them and try again. That's a completely unacceptable way of doing business. I'm wondering if the 'Lot knows that they're doing this like this. I know I'll never use them for any reason and I doubt very many others will, so is the revenue that lucrative from this vendor that irritating members is worth it? Who else is bugged by this? Did you know that you only have to go back a page and hit enter again to get where you were going?

I just log in and then when I start to get the offers, I just type in the web address again. No biggie to me. Mylot is just doing what other websites are doing, trying to generate revenue.

I agree. If you wish MyLot to continue paying us our income here, then let MyLot go with it. A website like this that does not require membership fee must make money to continue its existence.

Well, earning money online always includes scams so just go with it. After you log in, just re-type mylot.com on your browser's address bar and just let it go.

I stay permanently logged in on the laptop, on the desktop we do what you do to get to MyLot. It is not something that interests me, that is for sure.

I log on. Shut it off. Log on again from a response and then navigate to where I want to go. It's annoying and of course far from encouraging me to use the site actually turns me off. But so long as I can get here eventually I'm OK with it. But it is very tedious.
