This has been going on for some time now. Especially on Travelocity and alike.

Life's an upsell.

Yeah, I always notice it and make sure to uncheck it. I once bought the flight insurance thing, what a joke.

A little slow. Adult did not create prechecked cross sales. Mainstream has been doing it for a while but no one wants to talk about that. Though now people are not crying about ault doing it , it's time to focus that energy somewhere else other than making money.

I gotta go with the 'hiding from everybody in a fake nick' guy here. This shit has been going on for years. Hell, there's some of it that's so much more aggressive than a checkbox, too - I had to threaten to pull my accounts before BofA would stop trying to 'enroll' me in some stupid $20/mo credit report scheme.
