The article fails to mention Martin Lewis' various affiliate programs with a number of banks, and opportunity to increase personal wealth through recommendations not always in the consumers interests. 82.35.108.32 (talk) 22:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

IMHO, Lewis's affiliate links are always clearly marked as such, but if you want to contribute some encyclopedic content in this area, feel free! Take care, though: your note seems weasle-worded. Also, beware violating WP:CRITIC ... richi (talk) 23:19, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

He couldn't get away with doing things against consumer interest because of the massive forum scrutinizing every word he writes. He often responds to criticism (e.g here about the use of affiliate links instead of recommending a cashback site). If you intend to add something about this to the article why not put the accusation to him on his feedback board first. If the intention is to make a positive contribution to the article it would probably be the best way to get a fair and balanced view from both him and the other site users who you allege he is in someway cheating 172.142.16.215 (talk) 16:32, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Career section

I don't like the structure of the career section - it seems a bit odd that 'early career' should be at the end and MoneySavingExpert.com should be at the beginning. Wouldn't a chronological structure be more logical? Vl'hurg ^talk 23:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
