AG = 'Authenticity Guaranteed'. Click on the AG logo at the right side of the main page or go here: http://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/authenticity.cfm.

It's very important to get AG, it means that your eQSLs are valid for our eAwards program, and it is free. The above link tells you how you can get it.

It means Authenticity Guaranteed. This is from the main page:

One of the important security issues with any eCommerce site is the ability to properly identify its members. Identity theft is a growing concern in the online world. If we do not verify your identity, someone else could claim to be you. So we need a way to allow you to prove who you are.
Your eQSL cards can include the Authenticity Guaranteed logo and certificate, and qualify for our awards and contests. That is our certification that we believe that any eQSLs bearing your callsign were in fact posted on our system by the authorized licensee of that callsign.
The Authenticity Guaranteed program is however not a LICENSING program, but an IDENTITY program. We are saying that we have verified the person's identity, not that we have verified their ability to operate a ham radio station. Thus, it is perfectly legitimate to find SWLs or CBers or broadcast stations with Authenticity Guaranteed, if we have been able to verify their identity somehow. It does not grant them the ability to earn eAwards or participate in the eAwards program, unless the Rules for that eAward say they can!

Anyone who wants to know if your eQSLs are authentic can click on the Authenticity Guaranteed logo and can see the certificate we have issued you.
