FAQ
Why do review sites disagree on buyback rates?
Operators rarely publish one clear rate in their terms. Rates also change, differ by pack, or appear only in the app. Many review sites copy each other instead of checking the operator. That’s why we tag every fact with where it came from.
Which number should I trust?
The one shown in the operator’s app or checkout for the exact pack you’re buying, at the moment you buy. Our pages show what operators publish, with the date we checked.
How do I report a conflict?
See our editorial policy. We re-check reported facts and log every change on our updates page.
