What this can and cannot show

Rows without an explicit physical or digital label remain “Unspecified” and are not silently reassigned. A valid spread comparison still needs the same brand, country, currency, and similar denomination.

Why format changes a quote

Physical cards can carry activation, receipt, packaging, and photo requirements. eCodes can provide a stronger order trail but may introduce delivery, forwarding, or account-origin checks. Neither format is automatically better.

Next step
