Published founding year: Clove wins this cell
trusthub.jp prints May 2019. cardz.game signs a Founder and does not print a founding year, so the published date goes to Clove. Tenure is a record of time in business. It is not a buyback term, and it does not tell you what happens to your card.
Cash buyback and Original: Cardz wins these cells
Cardz prints 85–90% instant buyback and carries a named Original tab on the same path. The Clove zh-TW home that day was an oripa catalog with no site-wide cash-back band. A catalog tells you what you can open. It does not tell you what the platform pays when you want out.
Hong Kong shipping: Cardz wins this cell
The Cardz How it Works page describes a graded card, tracked and insured worldwide, with no published Hong Kong points gate. The Clove overseas guide charges 1,500 points when return points are under 10,000, and quotes about 5 to 9 days after ECMS handover.
