In-app credit card pitch
Opened the UA iPhone app tonight and saw this:
Pretty disappointing to see an advertisement, especially since I'm not even eligible for the offer.
At least UA has not stooped to the level of pre-merger US Airways where flight attendants would pitch the credit card in the middle of a long flight, over the loudspeaker, when many passengers are sleeping.

But they hawk the credit card as part of the safety annoucement.

It's not the first time...there was a thread on this in the past, maybe about a year ago.
The good news - if you click the X on the right side of the ad, it will go away, and you won't have to worry about it.
