FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does the same discount appear with different terms?

Each provider sets their own conditions: caps, minimums, and eligible dates vary.

Is a higher discount percentage always better?

Not always: an uncapped lower rate may save more than a high rate with a tight limit.

How can I confirm an offer is valid?

Check the terms directly on the provider’s official platform before completing payment.
