Bank the Bonuses!
https://www.buymeacoffee.com/johnmego/featured-bank-bonuses-tips-how-trigger-them
What a great way to end the week, earning another $50 referral bonus from Upgrade, TWO $50 referral bonuses from Chase Bank, and a $100 referral bonus from Chime! While Referral World tends to focus on the "NEW NEW NEW" apps to capitalize on those early-bird bonuses, established apps continue to be lucrative. And, it's nice to be able to depend on them, knowing they're not fly-by-nighters.
If you haven't already, please check out my post, Featured Bank Bonuses and Tips on How to Trigger Them!
Upgrade - $50 referral bonuses earned!
Chase Bank - $100 earned this week!
Chime - $100 referral bonus earned!

BrandClub Now Requires Identity Verification
https://brandclub.com/appshare?referralCode=091fefdc-867f-4190-bfe0-90bacc05ab29
The popular cashback rewards app, BrandClub, made an update to their app and terms today. They are now requiring additional information from its members. This information includes a default shipping address, a digital copy of photo ID, and from what I'm told, a profile photo and credit card number.
For a cashback rewards app, I personally feel this is overkill. I suspect it may be BrandClub's attempt to prevent people from creating multiple accounts, which unfortunately is not unheard of in Referral World, where people will create multiple, bogus accounts to obtain the signup and referral bonuses. I reached out to support inquiring as to why they're requiring all this information.
If you don't mind providing this information to them, I still recommend BrandClub at this point, in large part to the $20 signup and referral bonuses they offer when you sign up and attach either your Amazon, Chewy, Target or Walmart account. And provide the extra identity information, of course.
I will provide an update once I receive a response from BrandClub. Thanks to RWN supporter, Mary S., for the tip on this story.

Fintor Pays, and Pays Well!
https://fintor.app/start - code: @freecash
The other day, I reported on a new, viral real estate investing app hitting Referral World, called Fintor. Since I signed up on 3/22, I've already earned $135! If you haven't signed up for this app, I highly recommend it. You get a GRAVY share - valued at $5.06 - when you open and verify your account (ID required) and attach your bank. And I highly recommend you invest in one more share of GRAVY which is $5.06 per share. Once you've done this, click the link in the Fintor app to become an Ambassador which will give you your own referral link. You can earn up to $15 per referral (unlimited) - $5 when the person signs up and verifies their account, and another $10 when they deposit/invest!
The bonuses hit your Fintor account instantly. Redeem those funds to your wallet, which you'll receive in up to 3 business days. From there, simply withdraw to your bank.

My Last Referral Just Earned $1,540 from TradeUp!
https://www.tradeup.com/activity/market/welcome?templateId=usreferral&f=banner&invite=&adcode=20230103074304&utmcampaign=20230103074432&utmmedium=copy&utmsource=invite#/

A huge "CONGRATS" to friend and fellow referrer, Ana. She signed up through me for TradeUp last week and started referring it. Today, she earned $1,540 from a single referral! As a reminder: When you sign up with TradeUp and open a free account, you get a free stock up to $30 in value. Deposit $100 and you'll get a second free stock up to $1,540 in value.
You can refer up to 10 people to TradeUp and get up to two free stocks - same values as above - for each referral!

Brand New Moneymaking App: Fintor
https://fintor.app/start - code: $freecash
A new, viral app hit Referral World this week, called Fintor. It's a real estate investing app (similar to Lofty). The great thing about Fintor is they give you $5.06 when you sign up using code $freecash (make sure you choose "A friend" when they ask "How did you find us", and once your account is opened, click to enter a referral code and enter $freecash. You'll get another $10 when you take the $5.06 they gave you and invest it in a property (I bought one share of the cheapest option, Gravy in Huntsville, AL for $5.06). And you get UNLIMITED $15 referral bonuses for every person who does the same, which you can cash out right away.
Fintor's signup process was quite easy, taking me about 5 minutes. It does require a copy of your ID card (front and back). I was approved immediately and can already start referring. As I mentioned, this app just went viral so there is PLENTY of opportunity. I've already seen payout proof from a few "early bird" referrers who have made over $600 in just a couple days. You don't want to miss out on this opportunity!
NOTE: if the https://fintor.app/start link doesn't text you the link to the app when you enter your phone number, here are the direct links to the app in Apple App Store and Google Play Store:
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Fintor.App

Mos's $5 Promotion is back!
Mos, the app-based banking geared toward college students - but open to everybody - is once again offering their easy $5 signup bonus promotion! Just sign up and open a free checking account and you'll get $5. There is no deposit or spend requirement to get the bonus. Payout used to be instant but I believe they changed it to 1-2 days last year.
You'll get your own Mos referral link as well. If you sign up using your .edu email account - you can be a current student or alumni - you will get $5 referral bonuses when you refer to friends, as well ($1 if not).
A perk to Mos is that it's one of the few web-based banks that connect to Webull!

Solo's Still Paying!
In Referral World, the fly-by-night apps come a dime a dozen. I'm happy to report that this is NOT the case with Solo. I signed up for Solo at the beginning of 2022, and it has regularly, reliably been paying out nearly every week. If you aren't familiar with Solo, check out my post about them here. They offer a $10 signup bonus and $10 unlimited referral bonuses, and they pay out the rewards on Tuesdays via your choice of PayPal or Venmo. All you have to do is sign up and connect one or more gig/delivery app accounts.
And if you haven't signed up for Chase Bank, Swagbucks or DoorDash Driver yet, check out this post to see how you can quickly and easily earn $324 or more by making one delivery with DoorDash!
SuperCash Opened Credit Accounts, Hits Customers' Credit!
Remember SuperCash? Formerly SnapTravel, Super was the app that briefly offered $20 signup and referral bonuses when you signed up for their debit account. People like myself were led to believe this was simply another app-based bank - similar to Chime, Upgrade, Varo, etc. Super offers cashback rewards for shopping and some other services, as well. To trigger the bonus, new signups needed to fund their SuperCash account and make 5 purchases anywhere.
Right out the gate, there were discrepancies because their referral page stated that only one purchase was required, but their terms stated that 5 purchases were required. Customer support confirmed this.
Nowhere in the terms or anywhere in the app - that I found at the time, anyway - did it state that we were opening a secured line of credit, nor that they would be reporting to the credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). Last week, though, a new account from SNAPMONEY INC. DBA SUPER was reported to these bureaus, and I received multiple alerts from various credit watch sites. And several other referrers who signed up for Super reported the same thing happening to them. They've also updated their terms which now states that Super is a secured line of credit. In my case, the amount of credit is $3, which apparently is a fee Super charged. I'm unsure at this point if it's a monthly charge.
If this happened to you, I highly recommend you dispute this account through the credit bureaus. Click this link for how to dispute the information on your credit report.
Webull Now Offering an Additional $500 in Apple Shares!
https://a.webull.com/3xbl7iH11jCmzIlDT7
Have you signed up for Webull, yet? If not, they sweetened the deal in their referral bonus offerings. When you open a new Webull account and deposit a penny, you'll get a minimum of $34 in signup bonus stocks (which you can sell and withdraw once they settle in a few business days). And for referral bonuses, you'll get $80 in Apple stock (minimum, up to $9,000) for your 1st and 3rd referrals, and 10 fractional shares ($30 minimum) for every other referral.
On top of that, Webull is also giving $500 in Apple shares if you successfully refer five people by the end of March. This means that you'll get AT LEAST $784 in stocks simply by signing up, depositing a penny and referring 5 people. You can start referring as soon as your account is opened.
