Abstract
A system and method are provided to access advertisements on a mobile device. One or more merchants are provided as entries on a contact list. When one or more new advertisements are available from the merchants, a new occurrence indicator is displayed on the contact list icon on the home screen of the mobile device. Upon the mobile device receiving an input to open the contact list application that is associated with the contact list icon, the mobile device will display the contact list including the merchants listed therein.

Upon the mobile device receiving an input associated with one of merchants, an advertising display is presented showing the advertisement originating from the selected one of the merchants.
