They are not guaranteed, may be exclusive to Umbrella Comparisons at the time they are advertised, and are not fixed to any one provider or any one product.

Any promotional offer, including a sign on bonus, is subject to specific eligibility criteria which may include minimum earnings, length of engagement, or other conditions set by the provider.
