BizRate's Misleading Newsletter Sign Up Page

BizRate is a site where you can rate the merchants after you've made your online purchases. One offer they have all the time is their Daily Cash Giveaway where 20 winners will get $25 everyday. The requirement is that you need to rate the merchant you just shopped at. It's pretty easy and quick. At the end of your rating, you'll come to this submission page where you can see why BizRate is misleading the users to sign up for their newsletter. Look closely. You don't actually have to sign up for the newsletter to be entered in the $25 daily cash giveaway. but because the default option bullet is for the sign up, and they boldly put Click here to enter... Good Luck" there, most users who don't read the fine print would go ahead to click the yellow enter button on the right. Slimy!
