What the headline terms mean in practice
The published numbers are only useful when you understand the conversion event, attribution, application friction and promotion constraints behind them.
The economics can continue beyond the first conversion, but recurring value depends on the published duration, qualifying renewals, cancellations and reversal rules.
Confirm the current attribution rules in the live program because the reviewed public material does not expose one simple tracking window.
Free application; Buffer says each application is personally reviewed. Treat eligibility as a separate question from whether the commercial terms look attractive.
Traffic-source, trademark and geography rules are not fully public in the reviewed material; verify them before using paid promotion or making region-specific claims.
