@ Daniel — It’s a perfectly fair question, and I appreciate that you’re asking it, so let me give a bit of background.First of all let me say that I have editorial independence from credit card issuers. I have affiliate links in one form or another from all the major issuers. Not once have I been told “your coverage of this card isn’t fair, please take it down.” Quite to the contrary, they encourage editorial independence, and me writing about how I feel about these cards. Credit cards are one of the best ways to earn miles & points and get premium travel for pennies on the dollar, and I’ve been writing about cards long before I’ve had affiliate links.Furthermore, nowadays the major issuers have “refer a friend” links, so using that logic, doesn’t that mean we’re all sort of biased if we’re recommend credit cards, since we can all earn some sort of commission from some cards?What it comes down to for me is that first and foremost I report to you guys. We have a huge readership and I’ve been blogging for over 11 years. This isn’t a job, this is my passion. I know that the reason people read is because for the most part they find what I have to say interesting and trust me, or something.At the same time, we also all have to make money somehow. The place I draw the line is that I don’t in any way have financial relationships with hotels or airlines. My goal is to showcase how miles & points can be used for travel, and showcase that in an unbiased way. I actively go out of my way to avoid getting any kind of special treatment from airlines and hotels.Furthermore, I think credit card reviews are fundamentally more objective than an influencer reviewing a hotel or airline with special treatment. Look at my valuations of miles & points, and I think you’ll find that most of them are fair, or at least that I don’t have any obvious biases there, aside from my personal travel preferences (which, again, are self funded). I do think some other sites inflate the value of points to help them sell credit cards, but my valuations are much more conservative. So when I review a credit card, I’m sharing how I value the return on spending by the card, etc.Long story short, I don’t think there’s a single business out there where everyone definitively agrees that they’re unbiased and that there’s not some potential conflict of interest. However, I do my best to be as unbiased as possible, and the place I draw the line is that I want to do everything in my power to give unbiased airline and hotel reviews, and showcase how miles can be used for that. I could go on and on, but hopefully that at least somewhat answers your question.
