In response to Andrew Muller

I know exactly what you are talking about.. AD's everywhere! My IPOD touch does the same thing, but even if you buy a app it still has ADs.  I think that for the company it is something they can profit on especially if they are offering free games.  Funds are limiting at this point and companies need to get all the money they can in order to upgrade games, pay employees etc.  Though it is irritating its becoming a commodity for businesses to participate in the advertising world.

Every Day marketing!

The other day my car broke down.  I had to call AAA to come and fix the problem.  AAA, I thought was just a car service, but now that I look at their website they are more then a service.  They sell product and service including

Nationwide Emergency Road Service 
Auto Travel Planning 
AAA Travel 
Attraction/Hotel/Resort Discounts 
AAA Insurance 
Financial Services 
Show Your Card & Save® Discounts 
Fee-Free Travelers Checks 
Passport Photos 
AAA/Visa® Credit Card 
Legal Service Reimbursement 
Personal Accident Insurance 
Theft Reward 
Arrest and Bail Bonds


They go as far as bail bonds and passport photos?  I think this is very random and a marketing tool to widen their ability as a company.  They offer car rentals and discounts just for being a member of AAA.  They pull in a customer buy points that can work towards free offers. 

Are you involved in a point system company that offers rewards??
