Advertising Policy

The Points Guy has affiliate relationships with credit card issuers that offer products we cover on our site and across our other distribution channels (including social media, the TPG App, our newsletter products, and video platforms). This means that we may receive compensation when you click on these links to apply for a new credit card. This compensation may impact the location and visibility of these products (including, for example, the order in which they appear on our roundups or the frequency we write about them).

However, with the exception of paid, sponsorship packages (which are clearly labeled as such and discussed below), our editorial team retains full control over the content we create on these products — including star ratings, credit card reviews, benefit guides, credit card comparisons, pros & cons, and original stories written from the experiences of our writers. You can read our full review methodology at this link.

These compensation agreements allow us to support a team of writers who provide the latest news, analysis, and guidance across the entire travel industry. We set high editorial standards for our team, and while we strive to cover the latest developments, lucrative offers, and limited-time bonuses for our audience, the site does not include all available credit card offers.

Below are the credit card companies who offer products and services for which we have affiliate links:

  • American Express
  • Bank of America
  • Brex
  • Capital One
  • Chase
  • Citibank
  • Credit One
  • Cross River Bank
  • Luxury Card
  • OpenSky
  • USAA
  • US Bank
  • WebBank
  • Wells Fargo

We also have affiliate relationships with companies who sell products and services that are not related to credit cards, including (but not limited) to the following:

  • Amazon
  • Away
  • Booking.com
  • CruiseLine.com
  • David's Vacation Club
  • Dell
  • Expedia
  • Hilton
  • InsureMyTrip
  • Marriott International
  • Mouse Counselors
  • Rakuten
  • Saks Fifth Avenue
  • Sandals & Beaches Resorts
  • Skylark
  • TopCashback
  • Walmart

We may receive compensation when you click on links for these companies, but again, our editorial content and analysis of these products and services is not influenced in any way by these agreements.

Finally, The Points Guy will, at times, ink agreements with companies to promote certain products, services, or content in exchange for direct compensation. This can include sponsored articles, banner advertisements, featured placements, or other assets. These efforts are clearly labeled as such. While we work together with partners on creating this content, our team is the final authority on what we publish to ensure we're providing accurate, relevant information for our audience.
