I’ve read conflicting info about running affiliate redirects on AdWords. Some say it’s fine, others say you’ll get banned instantly. Anyone here have experience with this?

Running affiliate redirects directly on AdWords isn’t allowed and can lead to a ban. Instead, use a landing page with useful, original content, and then share your affiliate links, following Google’s policies is crucial for safety.
 
if your cloaking is ok you wont have any issues. you have to run them on quality accounts
 
Don’t just drop people straight on affiliate links, run them through a simple landing page first.
 
Straight affiliate links get flagged, always use a landing page first.
 
Don’t try to hide the link too much, Google catches that fast.
 
Do not redirect. Better buy a domain (even a cheap domain) and create a landing page / website and use that in the Google Ads campaign.
 
You could add your ads or affiliate url in top of websites side bar. That will helps you from get banned and also able to get higher CTR.
 
From experience, trying to send users directly to an offer page from your paid campaigns on those major search networks is generally risky. They really don't like it and often flag accounts fast.
