Corrections Policy
First Extra Dollar aims to publish information that is accurate, clear, and useful.
However, mistakes can happen, and information about platforms, fees, rules, products, and income opportunities can change over time.
This policy explains how we review and correct errors.
Reporting an Error
Readers are encouraged to report possible errors, outdated information, or unclear statements.
When contacting us, please include:
- The title or link of the article
- The section containing the possible error
- A brief explanation of the issue
- A supporting source, when available
You can submit a correction through the Contact page.
How Corrections Are Reviewed
When a possible error is reported, we review:
- The original claim
- The source or evidence supporting it
- Any newer or more authoritative information
- Whether the issue could materially affect a reader’s decision
Not every disagreement is a factual error.
Some articles include estimates, comparisons, or editorial judgments based on the available information. In those cases, we may clarify the reasoning without changing the conclusion.
Types of Changes
Minor changes
Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, or clarity improvements may be made without a correction notice.
These changes do not affect the meaning or conclusion of the article.
Factual corrections
When a factual error is confirmed, we aim to correct it promptly.
Depending on the significance of the error, we may:
- Replace the incorrect information
- Add missing context
- Clarify ambiguous wording
- Update related examples or calculations
- Add a correction note to the article
Updates
An article may also be updated when information changes after publication.
Examples include changes to:
- Platform fees
- Eligibility requirements
- Payment terms
- Product features
- Laws or regulations
- Tax guidance
- Availability by location
- Company policies
An update does not necessarily mean the original article was incorrect when published.
Significant Corrections
A visible correction note may be added when an error materially affected:
- The main conclusion of an article
- A recommendation
- An earnings or cost estimate
- A safety warning
- A legal, tax, or eligibility statement
- A comparison between products, platforms, or opportunities
The note may explain what was changed and when the correction was made.
Publication and Update Dates
Articles may display a publication date and a last-updated date.
A last-updated date indicates that meaningful changes were made to the content. It does not necessarily mean that every sentence, source, external link, or platform detail was reviewed on that date.
Readers should confirm current requirements directly with the relevant company, platform, government body, or professional adviser before making an important decision.
Removed Content
In limited circumstances, content may be removed rather than corrected.
This may happen when:
- The central information can no longer be verified
- The subject has become too outdated to update reliably
- A product, platform, or service no longer exists
- The article no longer meets our editorial standards
- Leaving the content published could materially mislead readers
Transparency
We do not silently preserve information that we know is materially wrong.
At the same time, we do not add formal correction notices for minor editorial improvements that do not affect the substance of an article.
The goal is to provide readers with accurate information and an honest record when a significant correction is necessary.
