CLEAR Renews Partnership with American Express To Enhance Customer Experience at Airports
The secure identity company CLEAR will continue its partnership with American Express to deliver more value to its card members at airports. The partnership will offer members more seamless travel experiences by expediting security measures when checking in. American Express first announced its partnership with CLEAR five years ago, and it was set to expire this year before American Express exercised an extension that was outlined in the agreement.
“CLEAR makes the customer experience safer and easier, bringing predictability to the friction-filled airport experience,” said Kenneth Cornick, CLEAR’s President and Chief Financial Officer. “We are excited to continue our partnership with American Express. Together, we are committed to delivering the best experiences to our customers and members.”
American Express members with a Hilton Honors Aspire Card, an American Express® Green Card, or any of American Express’ Consumer, Corporate, or Small Business Platinum Cards can continue to benefit from the partnership by receiving up to $189 in statement credit per calendar year.

McDonald’s Debuts Scented Billboards in the Netherlands
Imagine walking or driving near a billboard and being greeted with the unmistakable smell of McDonald’s French Fries. It might seem far-fetched, but that’s exactly what passersby within five meters of the new McDonald’s billboards in Utrecht and Leiden are experiencing.
McDonald’s Netherlands recently launched an innovative advertising campaign leveraging one of the brand’s assets: the distinctive aroma of McDonald’s. The fast-food giant introduced “sniffable” plain yellow and red billboards targeting the olfactory senses with no visible branding, transforming the outdoor advertising and consumer experience.
“McDonald’s is all about Good Times,” said Stijn Mentrop-Huliselan, CMO, McDonald’s Netherlands. “We are well known for our distinctive brand assets that they are mostly visual. Smell has been proven to be more effective at sparking clear and emotional memories than images. With the inclusion of this next sense in our advertising, we found a new way to remind people of Good Times at McDonald’s.”
The billboards are positioned within 200 meters of a McDonald’s restaurant to tempt nearby consumers to visit a McDonald’s restaurant.
