Ibotta's "Free Thanksgiving For Life" Promo!
https://ibotta.onelink.me/iUfE/8cc13c64?friend_code=ugqlqeg - code ugqlqeg
The beginning of this week, I reported on Ibotta's annual "Free Thanksgiving Dinner Promotion". They've sweetened the potatoes with another topping by offering 25 lucky recipients free Thanksgiving for Life!
Ibotta has two ways for you to enter:
1) For up to 10 entries, refer Ibotta to others. You'll get an entry for each of your successful signups through you before 11/23.
2) For 1 entry, Purchase the 100% cash back Thanksgiving items that Ibotta is promoting - if you don't already have them - along with any other grocery items in your pantry. Create a "pantry restock video" and also include a screenshot of your Ibotta Earnings screen. Post your video to TikTok by 11/23 with hashtag #IbottaThanksgiving.
What's Old is New (Again)!
https://www.referralworldnews.com/referrals
Many people in Referral World know that the best time to sign up and refer an app is when it's brand new, or when there's a brand new promotion ("the early bird gets the worm"). Something I've found fascinating, though, is how some of these apps and opportunities that have been around for years are still earning me regular referral bonuses as I refer them... apps like Chime, Solo, and Swagbucks (just to name a few). And if you think about it, it makes sense. These apps have proven themselves to be legitimate, to stand the test of time and to pay out bonuses without issue.
I believe another reason for this is due to new referees and referrers entering Referral World every day, once they learn what a great moneymaking opportunity referral marketing can be. Sign up for an app, get paid. Refer an app, get paid! And while an older app may have been super saturated just a year ago, it's not as saturated now because people entering Referral World since then haven't signed up for them - likely never even heard of them - and most referrers stopped referring these older apps long ago!
If you happen to be a longtime referrer and think to yourself, "why is JJ promoting this ancient app?" Here's why: The app, while old, still has a great signup and referral bonus. And I might be one of 5 people promoting this app while 500 people are promoting a newer app.
For anyone who's signed up for "all the apps" but aren't referring them, or are only referring newer ones, you may want to consider dusting off those old app referral links you've got and breathe some new life into them. Your wallet will thank you!
Feel free to check out all my new and "old new" apps here!
Happy birthday, D!
It's my brother's birthday today. Happy birthday, D!

Testmarket's $20 Cash-out Requirement, Paying for Reviews!
https://testmarket.io/register?ref=bXBobzIwMDJAZ21haWwuY29t
Yesterday, I reported on Testmarket's new promotion where you can quickly earn up to $150 in referral bonuses (see that post here). While taking screenshots to assist a RWN subscriber with their signup, I noticed two things today:
1) As of yesterday or today, Testmarket raised their cash-out requirement from $1 to $20 (1000 coins). For anybody referring Testmarket and are promoting their $1 cash-out minimum, you'll want to update that info. 
2) Testmarket emailed members today to let us know they're paying $1 (50 coins) and upgrading accounts for reviews on TrustPilot, Facebook and Product Hunt. According to the email, upgrading your account "unlocks numerous features, expedite[s] the refund process and gains access to a variety of future rebates." It's possible, but unclear, whether the upgrades include lowering the minimum cash-out to $1 (or less than $20, anyway).
Testmarket also states in the email that they expect positive 5-star reviews, and your account may be suspended and your coin rewards affected if you leave anything less without a valid reason.
Screenshot from the email Testmarket sent out:

Webull $50 Survey, $60+ Signup & $1,200 Bonuses Extended!
https://a.webull.com/gzxl7iH11jCmzIlxfx
If you haven't signed up for Webull and want to get a guaranteed $60 or more from them, OR if you have signed up and are trying to earn the guaranteed $60 and $1,200/$2,500 referral bonuses, I have great news: Webull extended both promotions! Originally set to expire tonight, they are now good through 11/15 11:59PM ET.
To score Webull's guaranteed $60, or more, simply sign up, open a free CASH or MARGIN brokerage account - it doesn't matter which - connect your bank and deposit a penny no later than the 11/15 deadline. You'll receive 20 fractional shares, each valued $3-$3,000, for a guaranteed $60 and potentially much more.
And if you're a current Webull member, check your app. Webull is asking members to complete a short survey between today and 11/22/23 12:00pm ET. They are randomly awarding 100 eligible participants who complete this survey $50 worth of cash vouchers. Winners will be announced on 11/25/23.
While completing the survey, I noticed that choosing "1" for their "0-5" rating questions prevented them from asking the follow-up questions of how actively you're looking for an advisor. When I chose a number in the mid-higher range, they asked a follow-up question to each original question.

Creating Juice Closing Accounts on 11/16
If you signed up for Creative Juice, the banking app that went viral last September, you likely received an email today informing you that they are closing accounts on 11/16. If you still have funds in your account, you'll need to be sure and transfer all funds out of your account, confirm your address, stop direct deposits and download your statements before this date. You can email [email protected] if you have any questions.

Double Bonus Sunday with Shopkick!
Code JOY567134
I just signed up for a new app through RWN supporter, Mary G. It's called Shopkick. Shopkick is a cashback rewards app, similar to Ibotta. Shopkick typically offers 500 kicks ($2 value) - as a signup and referral bonus. Today is Double Bonus Sunday, doubling the bonuses to 1,000 kicks ($4 value). Simply download the app using the QR code below or through your phone's app store. Once downloaded: sign up, enter basic email and birthday information, and enter referral code JOY567134 when prompted. They'll send you an email which you'll need to click to verify. Then scan one receipt or barcode from their many options to trigger the signup bonus. The whole process took me 2-3 minutes.
Here's how it works:
Earn kicks (points) for gift cards by walking into stores or when shopping online through the app.
Find featured items in stores and use the app to scan their barcodes to earn kicks.
Purchase select items and upload your receipt to rack up kicks even faster.
Link your debit card to earn kicks without even opening the app.
Cash out your kicks (points) to a variety of gift card options. Cash out is essentially instant, as you receive your gift cards within minutes.
Since I just downloaded and signed up for this app myself, I will be sure to share tips and tricks for maximizing bonuses as I learn them. And if you have any Shopkick tips/tricks for me, click here to email me and let me know! And for more great cashback apps, be sure to check this post out.

Webull Restores Vital Referral Tracking Details!
https://a.webull.com/gzxl7iH11jCmzIlxfx
As a longtime Webull referrer, I cannot tell you how important Webull's referral tracking tool is. It lists each person who signs up, the date they signed up, the date they applied for a brokerage account and/or were approved, and the date their deposit was initiated and settled. At least, it used to do all of this, up until a few months ago. When Webull changed it, they changed it to a pretty bare-bones version of itself, where it only showed referrers the person who signed up, the date their brokerage account was approved, and the date their deposit was settled.
When I reached out to Webull support, I was told it was done as part of account security for the people signing up. This is understandable, except that Webull requires all of these steps in order for us as referrers to receive our referral bonuses. Not including these details made it much more difficult to know if the person who signed up through us started any of the required steps. It's been especially aggravating since Webull usually has promotions like "successfully refer 10 people in 14 days and receive $1,200". There could be 20 people who started the signup process, but only 2 who actually completed everything. Referrers had no idea of knowing this until days, even weeks later as a result of the missing tracking details. And referrers, like myself, who often pay people to sign up through us for Webull had to stop paying partial/full payouts up front.
I'm ecstatic to report that late last week, Webull restored the "initiating" details in the tracking! While there's still no guarantee that people won't reverse the deposit once they've initiated it, for instance, it means that referrers will once again know which referees still need to complete which steps in order to be considered a successful signup. For that, I say, "thank you, Webull!" 
Big thanks to Mis***com and everyone else who's signed up through me for Webull's current promotion and initiated their deposit as well!
If you haven't signed up for Webull, yet, here is the info for the current promotion which ends on 11/8/23, 11:59pm EST.
