Creepy. Instantly TA was able to access my FB profile, or at least to verify its existence. By the way, I do not have TA's travel tool installed on my FB profile. It seems that FB has sold its email list to TA anyway.
For that reason I will not provide my address to TA for their free cap offer. Presumably it will be sent FB's way.
I heard recently that FB and TA are linked corporately. No surprise that they "know" about your anonymous profile. And I got my hat finally. Using all those 6-8 weeks.
