"Señor Cruz you're not going to like this but there's been a leak. The masterplan for the suites has appeared on the internet. They also know about the cabin crew naked calendar and the scratch cards."

I’ve never, ever, seen such cards on BA or AA.
Tacky, waste-generating, money-grubbing, irrelevant garbage ... just one step away from scratch cards.
If I get one I shall present it to the CSD and ask him to write an adverse customer comment on his iPad.

I had one of those on a flight last week as well and was thinking 'oh dear'.
Be very interested to see the economics of this - i.e. how little / much BA makes out of this to risk damaging their 'premium brand'.

Hi,
Didn't Alaska have blessing/prayer cards on the first class meal trays a few years ago ( or do they still have them)?
These cards on a dinner tray are a little tacky. ( I can put up with the initial adverts on the IFE and any leaflets in the amenity kit)
Regards

I cannot remember the name as it was a few years ago. The hotel was selected by a Chinese-American tour group. However, a few articles have been written about this issue, I can only find a few as I am at work:

It is usually found among the non-international hotels in China.

I really don't get why some people are getting so worked up about a small card and threatening to make a mess of the cabin , complain to the CSM and in one case use a pen to damage the seat. Hardly the behaviour of supposedly responsible adults.

Well Do & Co do have a branded chocolate disc on some desserts!

Or the adverts in High Life, TV screens in airports, at the bottom of Boarding Passes, the various beer promotions in Flounge, the visit Barbados adverts on the IFE.
I'm slightly mystified by this thread, these cards and assorted similar promotions have been going on for at least 10 years to my certain recollection. Not every flight, not this same card but (e.g.) the sim card version went out for much of the first decade of this century.

It's fair enough for Do & Co to to add a chocolate disc as it's their food. I'm not threatening to do anything but it does smack a bit of Ryanair. If I wouldn't expect it in a good restaurant why would I expect it on whilst eating a meal in Club World on BA? I'm going out for dinner this evening and will look to see if they add something like this to the table whilst we're eating. I have a sneaky suspicion they won't though.
