Corrections

What we published

After Amex cut the milestone ladder on 10 September, the card page's headline bullets still sold the deleted tiers as current benefits — "7,500 at ₹1.9L, +10,000 at ₹4L, +22,500 and a Taj voucher at ₹7L" — and still pointed Taj guests at a voucher that no longer exists.

What it says now

The bullets carry the current ladder and the ₹20,000 e-Gift Card that replaced the Taj voucher. The reward rows, milestone perks and estimated annual value were already correct, so the ₹ figure was right throughout; only the lines a reader actually scans were wrong.

What we published

Both listed a ₹100 + GST fee on every reward redemption.

What it says now

No redemption fee. YES's own MITC (document stamp CMITC_V18_07082026, page 19) says the fee "is not applicable for any credit card that do not offer Reward points as a feature", and every reward row on these two cards is cashback. An earlier audit had taken the price line out of the same clause and stopped one sentence short of the exemption.

What we published

Both printed a ₹50,000 annual fee for the Axis Burgundy Private — in a comparison table and in an FAQ answer ranking the tier's top general-spend rates.

What it says now

₹1,00,000, the fee Axis moved to on 1 September 2026 and which our card data had carried since. The standing failure this exposes is that a card-data fix reaches the table or the prose, not both.

What we published

Quoted ₹1,00,000 a month as "HDFC's stated minimum". That is the government-employee floor; everyone else needs ₹1,50,000. A reader planning against ₹12L a year was planning against the wrong number by ₹6L.

What it says now

Both published floors are shown, and which applies to whom.

What we published

The same page called the Axis ACE the largest surcharge-waiver cap in two places while printing the identical ₹500 a cycle for the ICICI HPCL Super Saver.

What it says now

Joint-largest, each naming the other. The ICICI figure keeps an explicit sourcing caveat: ICICI's product page prints the per-transaction band but not the cycle cap, so the guide says so rather than presenting the number as issuer-stated.

What we published

Forty-nine numbers attributed to a named card — fees, rates, caps and thresholds — were quoted in prose that our card data had already moved past.

What it says now

Each was re-checked against card data before the edit, rather than against the sweep that flagged it.

What we published

Both ratios were carried on secondary sourcing.

What it says now

Both cite Amex's own partner terms.

What we published

One page gave three different answers for the same card in the same category: a "7.5% on Online Shopping" headline, 5% in a widget below it, and 1% in a computed cell. The 7.5% is Myntra-only, the 5% is Flipkart and Cleartrip only, and 1% is the card's actual ungated base rate. The 7.5% had reached the page's search-result description too.

What it says now

Every surface answers "what does a normal swipe earn here?" the same way, and a merchant-locked rate is never allowed to stand in for a category rate. Eleven places were answering that question with five different rules between them.

What we published

The card record carried one cap dimension, so a reward capped per quarter was served as having no cap at all.

What it says now

Quarterly caps are carried and applied.

What we published

Published ₹0.25 as the value of an ICICI reward point redeemed as statement credit — as visible copy and as structured data. Our own source file carries ₹0.40, under a note recording that ₹0.25 appears in no ICICI-controlled document and that every occurrence traces to an aggregator.

What it says now

ICICI's own published ₹0.40 on all three routes, read from the source file rather than hand-typed into the page. It also flips the comparison's conclusion.

What we published

Ten places on the site labelled a date "Verified". That date is re-stamped by any change to a card record — correcting a typo re-dated it — so it was never a claim that anyone had re-read the issuer's document. No card on the site carried a real verification stamp.

What it says now

"Last updated" everywhere, which is what the date means. The separate, genuine verification stamp is shown only where one exists.

What we published

The premium card cited the right rate and then did the arithmetic at an old one, in three places: 7 BluChips per ₹100 was called "roughly 7% back". At the 42 paise a BluChip is worth, it is 2.9%. The 7% answer needs a BluChip to be worth ₹1 — a claim IndiGo's own terms refute.

What it says now

The arithmetic runs at the published value. The entry card in the same family had been computing it correctly throughout, which is what made the premium card's figures checkable.

What we published

All three showed the redemption fee as unknown, when each issuer publishes an exemption for that exact card in writing.

What it says now

₹0, read off each issuer's current MITC and Key Fact Statement. IDFC's prints "Reward Redemption Fee — ₹99 per redemption transaction*" over a footnote naming all three of its exempt cards.

What we published

Said a one-time setup fee applies to creating a Family Pool.

What it says now

Free. Air India's own FAQ answers it directly — "Is there any fee for creating a family pool? No." The fee was not invented: one existed and was removed, and we had not tracked the change. The 2026-07 pass that wrote the line cited an Air India URL that now returns 404.
