Uhm.... have you not used the skytrain at DFW? The sides of the escalators are all plastered with the Aviator MC adverts. As others have mentioned, they will be openng up their first lounge this year at DFW. I believe they also have plans for ATL and IAD. So, we'll see if DL or UA put up a better fight on their home turf. From what I've gathered about this card, it also comes with Priority Pass membership. But I believe if you want the hefty bonus points for travel purchases, you have to use their booking portal (and which might not give you elite qualification for certain hotel programs).
And on a side note, they've started running commercial advertising for this card. But I find it irritating that the narrator is saying you get 10 X (as in the alphabet letter, not 'times') the points for airline purchases. Yeah, I know it's a play on the Venture X name, but I still find it irritating.
