How verification works
Verification is the whole point of this product, so here is exactly what it does and does not mean.
What does verified mean?
We checked the official source and confirmed that the information shown on FreeCredits matched the source at the time of review. Every offer page shows the date of that check and links to the exact page we looked at.
What verification does not mean
It does not guarantee that:
- every user qualifies
- the company won’t change the offer
- regional restrictions don’t apply
- the offer won’t expire unexpectedly
Always check the official terms before claiming.
Freshness
A verification is only as good as its date, so two dates are shown: the day the official terms were last read in full, and the day our automatic check last re-read the page.
A verification goes stale after 30 days. While the daily check keeps confirming that the amount, the duration and the conditions on the official page have not changed, that clock is paused — telling you an actively monitored offer “may be outdated” would not be true. It is only paused, never stopped: after 90 days the warning appears regardless, because a crawler cannot read eligibility rules, a new footnote or a changed terms page. Sources that block automation get no pause at all, since nothing is watching them.
See the record yourself
Every automated check is published, including the ones that failed and the sites that will not let a machine read them at all. Read the verification log.
Where the numbers come from
Amounts, durations and conditions are copied from the official page, never estimated. If the official page does not state something (for example whether a card is required for a free plan) we say so in the verification notes rather than guessing.
The statuses
- Verified
The official source was read in full and the details shown on FreeCredits matched it at the time of review.
- Needs review
The offer exists but has not been confirmed against the official source recently, or the source could not be checked. Treat details as unconfirmed.
- Reported
A user reported a possible problem. We do not remove offers on a single report; we re-check the source and update the status.
- Expired
The offer is no longer available, either because its stated end date passed or because the source no longer lists it. The claim link is disabled.
