Questions

Before you download

Is it really free?

Yes. Tell us where to reach you and the PDF downloads on this page. No card, no account. We use your email for the next edition and your phone number so we, or a partner we work with, can help with the offers that fit you.

Do I have to buy crypto?

No. Every offer is paid on coins you already hold or spending you already do. If an offer only works when you buy more, it is not in the guide.

How current are the numbers?

Every offer was read on the company's own page or a named tracker on October 5, 2026, and the guide is re-checked monthly. Windows open for a few weeks at a time, so the guide shows the pattern and where to look.
