Anyone who thinks that The Points Guy is anything other than a paid interactive advertising machine for a variety of companies is delusional. Himself included. I still read the blog there are some interesting pieces now and then, but I read it the same way I still read Conde Nasty Traveler.
The latest piece on getting the upgrade to BA F, 25k points, two extra eVIPs ... I mean come on? In fairness he does at least disclose his compensation. Though seems he may actually think it is just his good luck! Let's not forget that the whole MegaDo thing has become a huge marketing opportunity for the alliances, and they know that the likes of TPG et al will be relaying it live to a lot of people, so this is real cheap advertising for them.
