But I shouldn't have to wade through ads for random crap just because AC can make a few bucks selling ad space to Fuze or General Motors or whoever.
This is the feedback I submitted to them in the app. If anyone else is annoyed about this, I encourage you to send them feedback through whatever channels you think useful.
Why are you now showing me ads for random products? I shouldn't be getting an ad for Fuze Iced Tea in the Air Canada app. I'm using your app because I'm already spending money on AIR CANADA products/services. This has nothing to do with Air Canada or Aeroplan, and you shouldn't be trying to shove advertising for random garbage down my throat. Now I'm annoyed at both Air Canada and Fuze for degrading my experience using the Air Canada app.
Fired off feedback as well, also added that perhaps they should follow United's lead in their app, as the Just For You is more intuitive than AC's For You, given United provide route offers, tips, account info, with actual United ad's.
Also annoying the feedback only allows one screenshot. AC can't even get that right.
Please give us feedback, oh but we are going to limit how much feedback you give us by only allowing one screenshot upload.
Will see what they come back with.
