How the cheapest challenges list is built
Each firm or account on this page meets the rule in the title according to the firm’s own rules pages, FAQ or checkout, checked on the date shown. Where a firm allows something only with conditions, it is listed separately so the main list stays strict.
Rules change often and can differ between a firm’s programs. Open the firm’s profile for the exact wording, and confirm the current terms on the firm’s site before you pay.
