In the 2026 RfC, The Points Guy was deprecated based on concerns about the site's native marketing and affiliate revenue model. The Points Guy has advertising relationships with credit card and travel companies, receiving compensation when readers sign up for financial products via the website's links. In 2019, The Points Guy was acquired by Red Ventures, a publisher of LLM-generated content which is itself considered generally unreliable.
