Get your barf bags out, folks. I made it to 3 or 4 paragraphs before it got too much.Very interesting. I would've thought the Ritz has a higher commission than the USB Altitude, and the PRG over the EDP (which I also thought they're eliminating the commission on altogether). The Hyatt over the Ink was also very interesting; I thought the Ink has a much higher commission.

14 writers there now?They write about the silliest things.. Literally face palm worthy.

The offer itself isnt really useful, you need to spend $15,000 for a highly restrictive free night certificate and the earning rates on all of the Chase co-branded hotel cards arent very strong. In addition to the promotion will only apply to people in their first year. The survey was also gauging how familiar respondents are with The Points Guy, in my opinion this is yet another indication its a Marriott promotion given all the positive press TPG has been giving Marriott as of late.
TPG has been an industry shill for years. Why is everyone waking up and caring now??Agreed, and I stopped following them as soon as I learned anything about the game. I don't think people have been throwing shade this directly until more recently though.

Who needs credibility when you're pulling in that much money?The money comes from the credibility. If everyone realized how crappy his credibility was, he wouldn't have a following, and in turn, wouldn't have an income. Prey on the ignorant.

But then againThat's my point.
From the wsj article
"Banks spent an estimated $4.5 million in banner, display and video advertisements on TPG in the fourth quarter of 2018,"
That's just in one quarter. So basically he more than makes up his advertising costs from banner ads. That's before commissions
The noobs believe he's credible. Hence "preying on the ignorant".That's been his strategy since day one and it's still working.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-credit-card-kingmaker-11553436000I do like the way he defends his journalistic integrity by stating that the travel is not paid by the banks, rather by using his own points (while throwing in a humble-brag about how much they spend on advertising). As if there isn't a understanding in place of "nice affiliate links you got there, it'd be a shame if something happened to them".

Please dont fall for bad TPG reporting. Higher flight prices have always been around 1c. They are comparing a cheap mint flight vs current expensive flights. Search expensive economy flights as well and you will see 1cpp there as well. Over a certain $ threshold the value goes down. (I dont know this number exactly but I am sure with some work it could be figured out). Find a cheap mint flight and you will see 1.4 again

Todays post about Blue Business would be contrary to what you said. A 10k point sign up is available thru referral and possibly incognito (although you do mention "public offer" - however thats the same as TPG writing pushing the AA card). Being that this card is being pushed hard on DDMS, I feel like that small piece of information should be mentioned.few other instances where weak Sign up bonuses were being pushed

TPG just posted his WAJ review. Notable points:$800/night hotel? OK then...
1. He agrees with @Dan about the breakfast: "...it was fantastic."
2. He chimed in on the great WAJ kashrus debate: "...I also later found out that the hotel had one of the strictest kosher kitchens of all the hotels in Jerusalem."
3. Apparently shakers are treif: "Service at the bar was also very good, though they couldnt make some of the drinks I requested Friday evening, as using a shaker for a cocktail would compromise the bars kosher status."

What's the estimate? What does he make a year?Who cares? It's millions, does the number of millions really matter?
@Dan maybe chime in.
What's the estimate? What does he make a year?He sold his blog way back in 2012 I believe, rumors were in the ballpark of $15MM.
@Dan maybe chime in.
What would you say his cc referrals is making the blog?Lol, they have over 100 employees and are owned (at least partially) by bankrate, you really think they're not profitable?
Do you think its profitable?
I am sure part or all of his salary is based on performance.
IMHO, regardless if TPG is profitable at the moment, if they figure out a way to make some app with even minor travel benefits, they should have no hard time getting ppl to sign up and charge some a monthly fee which should be very profitable.
So my question still begs, What are you guys estimating TPG makes a year off referrals?Enough to support 100+ employees. Who cares and who could possibly know a hard number?

Long story short, the website started to explode. I caught the attention of national press and realized that I had a real business on my hands. In order to focus on content, I shuttered my award-booking business.

So my question still begs, What are you guys estimating TPG makes a year off referrals?Keep in mind that TPG income includes payment by media websites to publish his articles.
Who cares...The same ones that would give their first born to know how much you make. :)

"Amex Business Green Card now offering up to 150,000 points in the first 3 months"
but yea, terrible ''bonus"
And TPG has jumped the shark. Reviewer pays $142 for E+, doesn't sit in E+, and complains about E- comfort and service."I would certainly have enjoyed the extra legroom had I been in the right seat. But, was it worth the $142 extra over a regular economy ticket? Absolutely not."

I bought tickets to Frozen II but accidentally sat in the theater where they were playing Joker and it was all down hill from there, never once saw Elsa, Anna, Olaf, etc and though the animation was creepily true-to-life and colorful, it had nothing to do with the story, and the film is way too violent for a kid's movie.
If you're looking for reviewers, I just did RT on a 777-300ER from SFO to TPE, Polaris out and Economy back and sat in the correct seat BOTH ways. I also have no food allergies or odd bodily afflictions, and know the difference between when I'm wrong and when the airline is. Oh, and I wouldn't waste your money spent on upgrades either.

https://outline.com/4M8TjmWhat the point of these hit pieces?
Isn't DD style commenting the way to deal with it?They did moderate comments, it takes time and resources to do so and I guess they didn't see the ROI.
Why not review each comment before allowing it to post?
Are there 3rd party 24hr services that would do that for you?

"He would trust almost anybody in the world before he trusts his own employees," she said. "He will trust [reader] comments over what we say is the best strategy, or a random person he met at a party over anything that we would have to say."
A number of employees would resort to asking their friends to leave comments on TPG stories, videos, or posts so that Kelly would see their suggestions and hopefully execute them.
This is from that article
I guess he caught on to what the employees were doing.
What the point of these hit pieces?Now I get the point, to ruin it for his employees.
Most PPL have dirt, what benefit do they have from publishing this, whom does it benefit? Click bait?

TPG article errors:
1. El Al blocks most space from Qantas, so that's not a substitute as implied
2. @United already flies IAD and ORD-TLV
3. The best way to book UA flights to TLV is with Turkish, not ANA
4. DL business class with Flying Blue miles? LOL!
You should get some more likes and retweets.https://t.co/lSFIj14naR

https://thepointsguy.com/news/no-longer-chasing-ultimate-rewards/amp/"The only scenario where they will come in handy is when I need points immediately for an award, and the points earned on my card havent posted yet."
https://thepointsguy.com/news/virgin-axes-delta-sweet-spot/amp/If anything, this revelation is a great reminder in the value of building points balances that are in a transferable currency, such as American Express Membership Rewards or Chase Ultimate Rewards. If you were collecting solely Virgin Points in hopes to redeem them for a Delta One flight, those amounts have skyrocketed overnight.
