Continentalization of DIA

When I started connecting at IAH I noticed no matter where I turned, I was never far from an ad for a CO credit card. At the gates, in the club, along the walls next to moving walk ways. Basically all advertising space in the airport was owned by Chase/CO.

At DIA a few weeks ago a sign went up that you see as you exit the United Club - something along the lines of "proud to serve Denver for the past 75 years". That's safe.

Last night when I got off a flight from Dallas, I noticed that the backside of the new flight status screens are now covered with Explorer Card ads. As I approach the escalators to the trains, there are rotating billboards for Explorer Cards. Of course, there are ads when you leave TSA and head down the escalators to the train - except when WN trumps UA.

It's madness, you can't escape credit card ads everywhere.

Ugh....
