The TripCase email call me by my first and middle name. My middle name is not on the internet and I don't use it for anything but flights, so it is sort of startling to see it on an email. This may sound crazy, but having my middle name on an unwanted email feels invasive, somehow.
I understand that CAA works with TripCase. However, I've already gotten an email directly from CAA about when my flight departs (several, actually), so why am I getting another from TripCase asking me to create an account with them? I never asked to be on their mailing list and it feels really spammy.
I know the solution is to unsubscribe (from these emails I didn't sign up for in the first place) but am I the only one bothered by this?
Hmmm. I use TripCase, but only because my TA uses it. I'd give it a rating of 5-6 on a scale of 10. It is good enough to keep and doesn't suck enough to bother finding an alternative. Somehow, you ended up on the SPAM list for TripCase, probably from the airline or your TA. If you don't have an account, I'd just tag anything from TripCase as SPAM and be done with it.
You didn't ask for a lecture on 'privacy on the Internet' so I won't give you one. But you don't have any so just get used to it.
