Article about GS says that Marcus is not profitable, lol what a major surprise
That MtM article is just clickbait, that is no "Financial Review".
Not too happy about the Kroger/Albertsons news. Both have their unique advantages for our hobby.
Hopefully it takes awhile to get implemented...
Quite likely this merger won't be approved.
I wonder which rewards program will survive the Kroger-Albertsons merger. Kroger partners with Shell, while Albertsons partners with Chevron and Texaco, and the reward programs work somewhat differently too. Remember, it's not necessarily the buyer: US Airways technically bought American Airlines, but it was the American Airlines AAdvantage program that survived, not the US Airways program.
Albertson's (Jewel) for me partners with Exxon and Kroger (Mariano's) partners with BP/Arco.
I agree with your broader question, though it feels like it will be less impactful than when two airlines merge. And FWIW, the Kroger brands in SE Wisconsin (Pick n Save, Metro Market) are partnered with BP and not Shell ... I assume it is somehow regional.
We're not going to see any more of the relatively generous Marcus bonuses, I reckon.
