Survey to the Wrong Email Address
The email address is my profile at Delta.com is [email protected]. And I get plenty of Delta email to that address.
Today, I get an email survey link from Delta asking me to comment on Monday's flight. It was not spam as I did fly on Monday between the two mentioned cities.
The trouble is that the email was sent to my office ([email protected]). The address is not in my profile and I don't remember ever giving it to Delta, although I may have 5, 10 years ago. I've always tried to keep my freq flyer stuff to my personal email as (1) it is not the company's business (2) it stays with me if I change jobs (3) there is always a lot of offers and such associated with these accounts.
So the question is why did this happen and how do I prevent it in the future? Has something similar happened to anyone else? From a privacy viewpoint, I'm very upset about it.
I do have a note into Delta but it is too soon to have heard back from them.

I'm afraid with the advent of wifi that's no longer sufficient.
