The credit card game is big business. It is a major revenue stream for most travel blogs and now United Airlines wants a piece of the action…
American’s President Scott Kirby has found that United’s credit card program is lagging and and believes that pitches onboard planes are the single most effective acquisition channel.
So from 1st September, United may be pitching you their credit card on domestic and international flights. United believe that they are educating the consumer since most passengers fly the airline no more than once a year.
My Thoughts
Everyone has to make a living, and that includes airlines and bloggers, but commercials for credit cards whilst taking away the complimentary beverage and snack service on many International flights seems a bit much. Particularly pitching to paying passengers.
