Angie's List frustrating

Overwhelmed with emails selling Angie's List services, products, local businesses, etc.. On the business side I am frustrated with the "Fetch" service - it takes THREE MONTHS between each time I am allowed to submit new contact info for my clients? That is three months of missed time that people could be submitting reviews and potential clients could be reviewing them. Then when I go to look at my Fetch system again, I see no record of exactly which customers I have already submitted info for - and so I cannot tell which customers I need to submit contact info for or which ones I already have done so. The "Fetch" system seems to me to be a thinly-veiled campaign for Angie's List to gain new members. (Which brings me to my final frustration - the fact that my customers have to have (or enroll to have) an Angie's List profile in order to submit a review.) Ugh. I'm already setting up profiles on other sites like Thumbtack. Angie's List is ok but feels snobby and also overly agressive about getting new customers.
