 * Author Comment. Hi there! Thank you for the review. I'll love to understand a bit more about why the sources of this article are considered PR or puff pieces, in reference to this line "no real coverage in reliable sources, mostly fluff, pr and non-rs"


 * The company doesn't seem to have published anything on a PR newswire, so I could be wrong but it doesn't seem like PR
 * The fluff part is also unfair, see the LendEDU article, which is actually quite harsh on the product.
 * Some notes about these publishers and their reputation below with relevant citations:


 * LendEDU: "LendEDU is a marketplace for private ﻿﻿student﻿﻿ loans, student loan refinancing, credit cards, and personal loans - among other financial products. LendEDU has been featured and mentioned on a variety of websites including TechCrunch, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Bloomberg, NPR, CBS News, Fox News, Business Insider, Yahoo! Finance, Forbes, Huffington Post, Inc., and many more. LendEDU is a graduate of the Iowa Startup Accelerator and Y Combinator."


 * Northwester Business Review: "We’re Northwestern's premier business publication, and are one of the only undergraduate-run business publications in the country.",


 * The Tab: "The Tab is a site covering youth culture and student culture, run by journalists who like being first." The Tab has been featured in the New York Times and the Guardian ,


 * I'll love to hear more from you! Thank you. Shirley McGordon (talk) 13:19, 12 February 2019 (PST)

 * Delete, per nom, for failing WP:NCORP. This isn't really the place for a review of an article (other than to discuss whether or not it should be kept), or pointers on how to write one. I recommend the helpful page WP:FIRSTARTICLE. Ifnord (talk) 03:55, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. In terms of notbility of "Thrive Cash", there is almost nothing; fails NCORP.  Also very (very) promotional article.  Britishfinance (talk) 18:09, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
