Split Drop Pays!
This time last year, bank bonuses and Webull dominated referral world. To an extent, that's still true, but several bank bonuses - and even the banking apps themselves - have ended.
These days, it is looking more and more like GPT ("Get-Paid-To") Sites are where it's at. Just today, I announced Scrambly's 3-day "Refer 5, get $100" promotion, the most Scrambly has offered to date, and is quite impressive.
And more great news: The brand new app that hit Referral World this week, Split Drop, IS PAYING! I reached $10 this morning and redeemed to Amazon gift card. It only took about an hour from when I claimed it (the first redemption takes longer since they need to verify your email and phone number before approving the claim request).
I was also pleasantly surprised to find that Split Drop offers 44 different gift card options, including Amazon, Starbucks, Addias, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, Staples, The Home Depot, Nordstrom, Ulta Beauty, Walmart and many more popular locations. Though they don't initially show when selecting the gift card you want to redeem on the website, the redemption email they send you gives you the option to select any of the 44 retailers.
If you haven't signed up for Split Drop, yet, I highly recommend it! You can read more info about their signup and referral promotion here.
Scrambly's Generous $100 Promotion (3 days only)!
Scrambly, the GPT site that pays you to complete offers, take surveys, play games and more, just announced a shockingly great promotion. All you have to do is refer 5 people who each cash out at $1 in the next 3 days. Here are the instructions:
If you haven't signed up for Scrambly, yet:
1) Sign up and verify your email/phone. You'll get $0.60 instantly.
2) Complete one or more easy surveys or offers through Scrambly to earn $0.40 instantly, and cash out as soon as you reach $1 (you MUST do this ASAP as this promotion expires 10/30 9am PT.
Once you're signed up and have cashed out:
Locate your affiliate link on Scrambly by clicking BONUS > AFFILIATE
Share your link with others so they can sign up through you, complete an offer/survey(s) and cash out before the 10/30 deadline.
Once you've successfully referred 5 people by the 10/30 deadline, you'll receive your $3 referral bonuses ($15 total, instantly) and you'll get your $100 Visa gift card on 11/1
Human [App] Instinct
Human App has quite possibly been one of the most viral apps the past couple weeks, and also the most mysterious. I've seen hundreds of posts, all saying either, "Can someone invite me to the Human App?" or else, "I have X invites for the Human app." 
Curious as to what Human app is, I started asking what Human app is, and the common answers were, "I earned [X amount of money] but I don't have any invites left", "I have it, but I'm not sure", and "I don't know, I've been trying to get an invite." In all the time I've been referring apps, I don't ever remember an app being such a mystery... almost like it's an exclusive nightclub that everyone wants in, but really have no idea why, just that it's exclusive, so they HAVE to get in.
Finally, after I asked several people, I got some information. According to one source, Mary G., Human is basically a crypto wallet/digital identity that offers $20 signup and referral bonuses in crypto, and has a virtual card that can be used to cash out. It can be used anywhere, provided you verify your identity through Human's server to ID.me or login.gov. Another source, Haley M., describes it as a virtual currency where the value of "one human dollar" fluctuates based on how people use the app. They use government entities to verify your identity and combat stolen identities, bots, etc. They allow p2p payments to friends and you can use your digital card on Google Pay or Apple.
If you've seen the mysterious Human app posts and have asked yourself, "what the hell is that all about?", hopefully this info helps. You can also join Human's Discord server here: https://discord.gg/joinhuman (thanks for the link, Haley M.).
If you have any insight you'd like to add, email me.

Split Drop Adds Requirement to Earn $5 Signup Bonus!
Breaking news on Split Drop: They now require new signups to complete ANY survey or offer before getting the $5 signup bonus. Steps are:
1) Sign up.
2) Complete quick site tutorial.
3) Complete ANY survey or offer (scroll down to my other article earlier today to complete this task).
Reminders:
$5 bonus is instant to your Split Drop account, but you must reach $10 before cashing out to PayPal or gift cards for the first time.
After the first time, you can cash out to gift cards at $5 or PayPal at $10.
$5 referral bonuses are awarded as your signups cash out for the first time.
In speaking with Chris, one of Split Drop's founders - and former VP of Product at Prodege/Swagbucks - the new requirement was added because nearly everyone who's signed up so far did nothing BUT sign up. (I'm sure referrers can relate to that scenario, right? cough... Brandclub... cough... MoneyLion... cough... Webull... cough... cough..) π
That said, a few referees have voiced concern over certain offers not properly tracking. If you have ANY issues with an offer/bonus survey not tracking correctly, or anything else, you can contact support at [email protected]
Hyype Space's Return and New Promo ... Worth the Hype?
Earlier this year when Hyype Space - aka HYYPE - hit Referral World, it quickly went viral and became a favorite app for many referrers as HYYPE issued $10-$15 Amazon gift cards as bonuses. The joy was somewhat short-lived, though, as HYYPE paused their bonus program back in August.
Now, HYYPE is back, and this time, is offering $5 signup and $5 referral bonuses (limited to 200 new Hyype Space members in total). And this time, they're paying actual cash - through PayPal - instead of gift cards.
This sounds all well and good, but there are already problems. Multiple referrers have reported that their referrals aren't tracking correctly. Some referrers have been reaching out to Hyype Space support to try and resolve this. And some members are claiming that Hyype Space has already halted the program. It's unclear whether Hyype Space has already obtained the 200 new signups for this promotion, or if something else has gone awry.
I'll provide an update once I know more. In the meantime, you can reach out to [email protected] with your questions/issues, and/or through their Facebook page.
Special thanks to RWN supporter, Becca C., for the tip!
Split Drop Tips to Quickly Earn Bonuses and Cash Out!
This week, Split Drop hit Referral World and went viral. Some people have signed up and are asking, "what do I do now?" 
As a reminder, Split Drop is a Survey/GPT site, like Scrambly, Swagbucks, Freecash, and others. Signing up and completing any offer or survey gets you a $5 signup bonus. And you can refer others and get $5 each when they cash out for the first time. Split Drop has a $10 minimum cash out requirement for the first cash out, meaning you may will need to complete one or more offers to get the remaining $5 to reach $10.
Here are some tips to quickly earn money through Split Drop and cash out:
Click the link in the footer on Split Drop site called "Tips & Easy Ways To Earn" which explains "MM Wall : Watch and Earn." (aka, watching videos while earning money)
Click on the "Daily Bonus Pool" link in the header where you'll see the top earners each day. You can click on any of them to see what they did to earn their bonuses.
Bitlab Surveys and AdGate Surveys tend to be easier surveys to qualify for. Be very honest in the surveys. The more you're honest and consistent, the more surveys you'll qualify for. People have made around $10 in an hour using this method.
Play multitask and/or rewarded games. Rev U has some single payout games.
Refer Split Drop to others. You'll earn a referral bonus once they complete their offers and cash out for the first time.
If you have any tips you'd like to add to this list, or you have any questions, click here to email me. And if you have ANY issues with an offer or survey tracking, you can email Strip Drop support at [email protected]
Roi Pays!
https://getroi.app.link/CJ5AVa2xdEb - code HF38F6
Roi was one of the two apps I signed up for in early October that originally had issues properly tracking referrals due to issues with an Apple App store requirement. They since resolved the issues by requiring a unique referral code. And while I was initially apprehensive, Roi has proven to be legit and is paying out. I received $150 this morning from them through PayPal. More details here.
Be sure that if you're referring Roi, you provide people with both your link AND your unique referral code. Roi doesn't offer signup bonuses, but they offer several referral bonuses, including $150 when you refer 10 people.

Split Drop - Brand New with $5 Signup and Referral Bonuses!
https://splitdrop.com/friend/7676
A new GPT app has hit Referral World, called Split Drop. This app is similar to Swagbucks, MyPoints, Scrambly, InboxDollars, etc., where you get paid for completing offers, playing games, taking surveys and more.
Right now, Split Drop is offering $5 instant signup bonuses (can take up to 10 minutes to reflect in your Split Drop account), along with $5 referral bonuses. To earn the signup bonus, just sign up using a referral link, create your account and complete their 20-second site tutorial.
As soon as you reach $10, you can redeem your earnings to PayPal, along with PayPal, Visa and other gift cards. And after your first redemption, you can redeem for gift cards as soon as you reach $5.
Like Scrambly, you receive the $5 referral bonuses once your referees make their first withdrawal (not when they sign up).
Based on the information I have so far, you have to verify your email and provide and verify your mobile number when you redeem your first $10. You can then claim your bonus, and you're notified that it's being reviewed and you'll be paid within 24-48 hours (this is the case when redeeming gift cards, anyway). I reached out to the company to find out if all redemptions will have this wait, or if it's just the first redemption. I will make an update once I hear from them, and/or when there's been confirmed payment. For now, I consider this app to be in TESTING.
Roi's New Terms and Requirements
https://getroi.app.link/Oto3VQcRzDb - code HF38F6
Roi, an app which hit Referral World the beginning of this month, has modified their signup/referral terms. 
A few notable changes:
The two accounts you connect to Roi must have a minimum asset balance of $100 each.
Accounts that do not count are listed here
Additionally, while Roi offers very generous referral bonuses, I noticed in these terms that Roi is only awarding one person each the Cartier Santos, $15,000 in BTC, and $35,000 in cash when they reach the required amount of referrals to earn each prize.
Webull Reboots $1K/$2K Referral Promo (Exp. 10/31 8:59pm PT)
https://a.webull.com/IStl7iH11jCmzIlrvv
As you already know if you read my previous entries regarding Webull's last referral promotions, they originally set them to last one week, then extended them, with the $1K/$2K set to expire 10/23 9pm PT. That promo did expire, but they rebooted it for another week. Meaning that between now and 10/31 8:59pm PT, you will earn $1K-$2K when you successfully refer 8 people who all are new to Webull, open a brokerage account using your link and deposit a penny.
Note that Webull also extended their other referral promotions (refer 1 and get $120+ guaranteed, and get a guaranteed $60 or more for your next 9 referrals). These promos also expire 10/31 8:59PT.
Big thanks to those of you who signed up for Webull through me and competed your penny deposit, and congratulations to everyone who referred others and earned the big $1K/$2K bonuses!

Sketchy Referral Marketing
If you frequent any referral sites or groups, you're likely aware of obvious scams and scammers when you see their posts. What may not be as obvious is the recent uptick of sketchy and deceptive promoters. This week alone, I've seen a dozen or more folks promoting Webull and other Apps using a "lies by omission" approach, or worse, boldface lying about what the bonuses are in order to get more signups.
A few examples:
People promoting Webull's signup/referral bonuses as "guaranteed $30-$50", "you get to choose between $1,000 and $2,000", "guaranteed 40-50 stocks when you sign up" and similar false advertising.
Advertising Get-cc as "Instant $10 to PayPal" and sharing their link, not telling people that there is no signup bonus, and the referral bonuses are $1 (not $10).
Using other people's bonus proof and claiming them as their own.
Claiming they got $1,000 immediately after signing up for MyBambu (MyBambu offers no signup bonus and only offers $15 referral bonuses).
Using URL shorteners to lure people into signing up to TEMU or other entirely different apps than the bonuses they're promoting, promoting them as "get $50 from DoorDash", etc.
Not disclosing important terms to get a bonus or pay from the referrer until after you sign up (as some people are doing with Remotask, where they advertise as an instant bonus but once you sign up, tell you that you have to sell your account to them to get the "bonus" from them).
Thankfully, legit referrers outweigh deceptive marketers, and there are things you can do if you are uncertain of any details in an ad/post, such as:
Reply and ask the specifics and/or point out any details you are unsure of. It could be that the referrer simply made a typo, weren't aware of a specific requirement(s), or misunderstood the bonuses themselves.
Check the referrer's posting history (if available).
If you're able to, report the post to group admins.
Compare the details in the questionable post with other referrers' posts. If four people are promoting the same app, and three people are stating "guaranteed $18+ signup bonus" while one person is promoting "guaranteed $30-$50", assume the lower signup is correct, and ask if unsure. Note that if you're asking the person who is deceptively promoting the app, they might continue to deceive you with their response.
Even the most legitimate referrers can make mistakes with a particular app bonus/requirement, especially when it comes to new apps/promotions (I know I've made them). Asking questions upfront and watching out for scams AND sketchy promoting will help to save you disappointment and not get duped.
Hopper's $25 Signup Bonus AND New 10% Signup Bonus!
10% off link: https://sharing.hopper.com/invite/johnm8e4 - code johnm8e4
$25 off link: https://sharing.hopper.com/refer/johnm8e4 - code johnm8e4
After nearly a year of offering their $25 instant signup bonus - issued as credits and good towards your first hotel booking - Hopper is offering a new promotion: 10% off your first hotel booking! With this new promotion, they provided referrers with a new referral link. I happened to notice, though, that the $25 offer is still being offered, simply by using the old referral link. The only difference in the referral URLs is the word "invite" vs "refer":
The referral promotions appear to be the same: $25 instant bonuses for each of your first 20 referrals good for your hotel stays, and $50 - good for hotels OR travel - for each referral thereafter when they book their first hotel stay.
What's unknown at this point is whether the "10% off" bonus has a limit to its value. For instance, if you booked two nights at a $250/night hotel ($500 total), 10% off would mean $50 (twice the amount of the $25 signup bonus). I reviewed the terms and found no information indicating any bonus limits. If you know the answer to this, please email me and let me know.
As you may have seen previously, Hopper is one of my favorite apps because you can stack the bonuses, steeply discounting your hotel stays and travel. See more about that here.

Updates on Max Travel and Modak
Last week, I posted about how I signed up for Max Travel and Modak and had issues with both. A week later, and nothing has improved for me; I'm still stuck on the loading screen when trying to sign in to Max Travel, and Modak still hasn't approved my account. Additionally, Modak was briefly offering an additional $50 bonus to invited partners and shut that down a week ago Friday, stating they'd be offering it again come Monday. That has not happened based on everything I've seen from other referrers. I've also heard that Max Travel shut down their referral bonus program but am unable to personally confirm this due to the app not loading for me.
