What triggers another review?
The page is reviewed promptly if the displayed amount, qualifying stage, account type, sign-up route, official terms, support guidance, or referral-link destination changes.
A calendar date alone is not treated as proof that an offer is current. We compare the wording on the relevant official source with the information presented here and amend a material claim when the evidence changes. If the official application or current terms differ from this page, the official application and terms take priority.
