The email attached to that link also said: Hurry to get your hat, but please don't forward this email to friends. Instead, tell them to write a review so we can send them free stuff next year!

The hat was for writing a review on Tripadvisor this year.

I had that error the first time. Then I noticed I needed to fill in my shipping information at the same time as well. Got mine! I'm wearing it on the next few hotel visits to see if anything different happens at check in.

Earlier today, you received an email offering you a free TripAdvisor hat to thank you for sharing your travel opinions this year. Sadly, we had a technical glitch that kept some of you from requesting your hats.

Were very sorry for the inconvenience and wanted to let you know that the problem has now been resolved. We hope youll try again.
after 4 hours since the first email! I am wearing my hat to NYC Hotels next month

Something be aware of: I used an anonymous email address to sign up with Trip Advisor. I used the same anon. address to create a Facebook profile.

When I submitted a Trip Advisor review recently, they "knew" I had a Facebook profile and a pop-up window offered to link the TA review to my FB profile.

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.

Got the hat today!

Wonder if I will get better service on my next hotel stay if I wear that around the hotel lobby.

I got mine. Never been one for ballcaps really. Think it would actually get you better service though?
