What's happened to "Head for Points" website
Has HFP gone off line, latest posts seem to be from 11/12/17, is it my iPad or has it moved?
Regards Fdm |

Hi, just tried & works for me!

Google it, click through and then save the new link.
They've done some IT stuff over the weekend. |

/They changed their IT hosting over the weekend. Perhaps you are still seeing the temporary old site they had up on Saturday

Sorry about that. Looks like your system has cached the server address - unless it looks it up again it won't know we have moved.
Reboot your internet router. That should clear it up. If not, do a full cache clearance in your browser. Rob |
Thanks,
Got it now. Keep up the good work. Regards Fdm |
The site is working fine but the content has been a bit thin for a while :(
No disrespect to Rob & Anika, it just seems great deals are rather scarce these days ! |

Trust me from my own experience. Readers are not stupid and readers know a bad deal when they see one. I can pretty well predict what sort of traction an offer will get when I write about it. I also know that trying to promote stuff which I know is rubbish and, more importantly, that the readers will know is rubbish is pointless - you don't get any conversions anyway and the readers stop trusting you so you get a poorer response when the next genuinely good deal comes along.

Monese was a sponsored article and clearly marked as such right at the top!

I'm sure you're not suggesting that you would publish stuff which you know is rubbish and leads to readers stopping trusting you just because someone is paying you for it.
A quick Google search will show that Monese pays publishers £16 per sign up to its free account. I could have made a few quid writing about its new Avios partnership and saying it was great - but I deliberately chose not to. Monese then decided it wanted to reach our readers and chose a sponsored article, clearly flagged as such, over banner ads. We only get a flat fee from that. This allowed a good debate in the comments about the pros and cons of Monese vs other challenger banks. If you think I’m stupid enough to risk the good reputation we have built up over 7 years for the sake of a few quid then you’re wrong. I also bet that, if Monese does what it has implied and starts awarding Avios on debit card spend soon, you will be rushing to sign up ..... |
