Bought, never granted

Accounts are registered and funded exactly the way yours would be. Comped balances, media logins and test environments are turned down, because a brand aware it is being watched stops being a useful subject.

Median of three, always

A single withdrawal is weather. Three across three weeks starts to resemble climate. The middle reading gets published, never the fastest, and where that middle reading embarrasses the brand advertising, the review states it.

How the score is weighted

Cashier speed dominates, being the promise most frequently broken. Redeemable value follows, gold discounted entirely. Then turnover, then the floor, then whether rulebook and cashier tell the same story. Library size and visual polish rank last, because an attractive slow payer is still a slow payer.

Money and independence

Certain links pay on registration, at terms struck before testing and not renegotiable after. Several reviewed brands contribute nothing and occupy the positions their cashiers earned. Nobody previews a review and nobody buys a score.

Going back

Nothing in this market holds still. Multiples change, floors rise, cashiers slow under load. Every review is re-funded and re-run twice yearly, with individual entries corrected sooner whenever a reader flags something.
