A contact card is not a subscriber.

Answer A contact card is not a subscriber. RFC 6350 describes the vCard format. The document is titled vCard Format Specification. A vCard is a card of contact details. The details are not a record that the person joined a list. Holding the card does not mean the person asked for mail. A solo ad is one rented letter to people who asked. A stack of cards is not that letter, and it is not that ask.

Cream stationery and a teal accent on a dark navy desk — Contact details are not a request to be mailed.

The note that started this: RFC 6350, vCard Format Specification, RFC 6350.

The pitch arrives as a file, a screenshot of an address book, or one sample card held up like proof. If you use solo ads for affiliate marketing, the offer page still needs a person who chose to hear about it. A card cannot make that choice. It can only repeat details someone stored. Ask the seller what they have besides the card. If the answer is more cards, you are looking at contact details in bulk. Bulk details are not a subscriber file.

That is a fact about mail software. It is not a solo ad price, a rank, or proof that a stranger opted in. The format is real. The specification tells software how to read a card. Readable is not consented. A stranger whose details fit the format is still a stranger. Do not let a clean card launder a missing request. The request is a separate fact, and the document does not supply it.

What does RFC 6350 describe?

RFC 6350 describes the vCard format. The document is titled vCard Format Specification. A vCard is a card of contact details. A card of contact details is not a person who joined a list.

The document says how contact details can be written so another program can read them. It does not say those details were given so you could mail an offer. A seller who explains the format has changed the subject from the list to the file type. Return to who joined, which sending domain is on the order, and what the refund is if the drop is not that list.

Buyers get stuck when the card looks personal. Details feel like a relationship. That relationship does not transfer to you because you are about to rent a send. Being shown details is not being introduced to a subscriber. Ask for the list the card was standing in for.

A card is not accepted as a subscriber.
The list is named without pointing at a file of details.
The sending domain is written on the order.
The refund line covers a file that was only contact details.

Is a contact card a subscriber?

No. A contact card is not a subscriber. A card of contact details is not a person who joined a list. The format describes details. It does not turn those details into a request to be mailed.

The buyer who pays for cards pays for a mailing to people who may never have asked. The refund line has to be on the order before you learn the file was only contact details. Afterward you are arguing about a format, and the format will not take your side. Put the subscriber claim in words the seller will refund against if the claim was only details.

Sellers who keep a careful list should not lead with a card. The card hides the person who joined. If your proof is an export of contact details, say that plainly. If your proof is a list of people who asked, say that instead. The word vCard does not end the question. The question was about subscribers.

Does a vCard set a solo ad price?

No. That is a fact about mail software. It is not a solo ad price, a rank, or proof that a stranger opted in. A buyer still has to name the list, the sending domain, and the refund line on the order.

A price comes from the letter you are renting, the list it goes to, and the terms if it does not. A card has none of those. A seller who prices a file of cards is pricing contact details. Decline that unit. Do not translate details into a solo so the quote feels familiar.

The unit you purchase is still a letter to a list you can name. buy solo ads only after the list, the sending domain, and the refund line are on the order. A vCard will not fill those blanks. RFC 6350 will not fill them either. A contact card is not a subscriber. Do not pay a subscriber price for a card of details.
