Travelodge has told customers who've received spam email that the company 
has not lost their credit card details, which is nice.

The letter said:

     Our main priority is to ensure the security of our customers' data, 
which is why I wanted to make you aware that a small number of you may 
have received a spam email via the email address you have registered with 
us.

     Please be assured, we have not sold any customer data and no financial 
information has been compromised.
