All four monthly/annual volumes are verified using purchase-button totals (6,000 annual credits cost $90, despite a rounded $8 monthly label). The free card states 3 daily credits but other free statements conflict, so a single free allowance is unconfirmed. The 1/3-credit rules concern watermark removal, not a separately stated background-removal rate.
