Increased $10-$60 MoneyLion Bonuses are Back, Ends 1/19!
https://mlion.us/$55BONUS - code $55BONUS
π came early! MoneyLion rebooted its "Referral Rush" promotion this morning, offering increased $10 signup and referral bonuses. This is double the normal offering of $5. Earn another $50 as you or your referees trigger the deposit bonus, which can be done through direct deposit or by making a $100+ transfer from within Current or Found. This promotion lasts nearly a month, ending on 1/19/25.
If you don't already have MoneyLion, I can't recommend it highly enough. I earned $655 just this week last month and over $11K since signing up (with more bonuses on the way). See my featured MoneyLion post here for proof and more info.
Flash is an INSTANT RWN MVP!
https://app.flash.tech/app/eZBBHLGe67iDEywt7
Flash, the purchase tracking app that went viral last week, has already earned a spot in my upcoming "December Whales" post. I signed up on 12/16 and have already cashed out $225 in instant gift cards for Macy's and Amazon, with more bonuses ready to cash out. If you haven't signed up yet, I strongly recommend doing so. Signing up is easy: use your phone to download the app and sign up. Enter your phone number and connect your email (be sure your email has a recent purchase history), and you'll get 1,250 points instantly. You'll get 1,000 points for each person you refer who does the same (up to 100 referrals). Bonuses and withdrawals are instant.
Gift cards range from $5-$100 and can be redeemed with 1,000-20,000 points. Note that for some, this points redemption may be slightly more (1,500 points for a $5 gift card, for example). More info here.
Fetch's Increased $4 Signup and Referral Bonuses (Ends 12/24)!
https://fetchrewards.onelink.me/vvv3/referraltext?code=XRGUGB (code XRGUGB)
The receipt-scanning/cashback app, Fetch, is offering an increased $4 signup and $4 referral bonus promotion, ending Tuesday, 12/24. This is one of their highest offerings for referrers and referees alike.
Fetch is a great way to score gift cards and other cashback rewards by scanning your shopping receipts and connecting your Amazon, Walmart, and email accounts to the app. For more information about Fetch, see my featured post here. For similar receipt-scanning and cashback apps, see my Featured Cashback Bonuses post.

Stash's Targeted "Extra $25" Promotion!
https://get.stash.com/john_h88crts
Stash members: check your current referral promotion in your account. Stash has offered certain members an "extra $25" referral bonus promotion that gets you $20 + a bonus $25 when your referrals sign up through you and deposit a penny or more through 12/31.
I don't have this particular promotion myself, so I suspect that the promo was given out randomly or perhaps is something only new/newer members are eligible for.
If you haven't signed up for Stash yet, see my featured post here to earn $20 (your choice of cash or stock) when you deposit a penny or more.
Is Sprout Studio's $50 Referral Promo Worth the Risk?
A new TESTING promotion from Sprout Studio hit Referral World this morning. The promo: Sign up for a $7/month subscription. There's no signup bonus, but through 1/17/25, you can get $50 per successful referral. I did some research into the company and this promotion, and here is what I found:
Sprout Studio is an all-in-one app to help folks run their photography business, including a CRM, studio management system, galleries & more.
Sprout Studio appears to have been in business for some time, as its website was created in September 2014.
To qualify as a successful referral, you must keep your monthly subscription for 30+ days, presumably paying the $7 fee for the second month (a minimum of $14 spent). You must also be active in your account during this time.
Referral bonuses are paid within five business days in the following month (it's unclear if it's a calendar or a rolling month based on the referral's signup date).
This app and promotion remind me of promotions from Joist, Invoice Simple, and Arcade earlier this year. In each case, the app and promo were intended for a niche market and each app shut down their promotion prematurely. In each case, some folks got paid while others didn't. The Sprout Studio is even riskier to me because of the 30+ day wait time to be paid along with the "must be active" requirement.
For these reasons, I think I will hold off signing up for and referring this app for now. There is also the "no risk, no reward" mindset, so perhaps it's worth testing out (knowing there's a chance to lose $7-$14). Let me know your thoughts and whether you've signed up or plan to sign up/refer Sprout Studio! You can email me at [email protected].
MoneyLion Keeps on Roaring. Another $655 Overnight!
https://mlion.us/$55BONUS - code $55BONUS
Someone recently asked me, "If you could only refer one app, what would it be?" Fortunately, I don't have to decide on just one because there are so many apps offering great bonuses. But, if I were to put all my eggs in one basket, that basket would have to be MoneyLion. Just last night, another $655 in referral bonuses posted to my account, bringing my total referral earnings to nearly $11.5K since I signed up (and the majority of those bonuses came in the past six months)!
It's easy to see why this banking app is so popular. It offers a $5 signup bonus just for signing up (no deposit or spend requirement) and another $50 deposit bonus opportunity when you deposit $100 through direct deposit or an external transfer using Current or Found apps. You can also earn $5-$55 referral bonuses (more when they run their increased promotions, typically once per month).
For more great banking bonuses, see my featured post here.
TopCashback's Increased $35 Referrals Promo (Limited Time)!
https://www.topcashback.com/ref/johnmego
A popular cashback portal, TopCashback, increased its referral bonuses from $10 to a whopping $35 just in time for last-minute holiday shopping!
Just sign up and earn $10 in cashback as you make purchases using their portal. There's no signup bonus, but you'll trigger the bonus for the person who referred you. You'll also get your own link to share with others to earn $35 referral bonuses!
You'll want to act fast if you're interested in this promotion. TopCashback never informs us when their special promotions are ending, and based on past promotions, I don't expect this one to last longer than a few days to a week.

π ½π ΄π Flash - Instant Bonuses, Redeem Gift Cards!
A new, viral, instant app is circulating in Referral World! Flash (aka FlashTech) is available in the US and India and is a shopping app that helps users manage their online purchases, track orders, and earn rewards. And they've got a promotion right now that gets new users 1,250 points instantly when they use their phone to download the app, sign up using their phone number and attach their email. 1,000 instant referrals as well, up to 100 referrals.
Most users have been able to redeem 1,000 for $5 gift cards - Amazon, Macy's, Starbucks, DoorDash, and others - though a few have seen a 1,500 requirement for $5. YMMV. I have contacted the company for more information regarding the varied experience and await a reply. You can find more info in my featured Flash post here.

Snaplii Referral Bonus Confusion!
Yesterday, I signed up and started referring Snaplii, which offers a $10 instant signup bonus (which is a $10 discount off a $20 gift card), along with a $5 referral bonus when you refer. I received one referral bonus, but no more. Revisiting the app, it looks like Snaplii may only offer a $5 referral bonus regardless of how many people you refer. The promotional materials in the app are confusing, so I have reached out to Snaplii support for clarification and will provide an update once I've heard back.
UPDATE: I confirmed with Snapliee that we CAN receive multiple referral bonuses. I have had multiple people sign up through me and according to them, only one person has redeemed the code for the $10 discount so far. Hopefully this is correct and there will be more bonuses to come!

π ½π ΄π Snaplii - $10 off $20 Gift Card Plus $5 Referral Bonuses!
https://l.snaplii.com/pNjb - code CA13B0
Another new app just went viral in Referral World called Snaplii. Available in the US and Canada, Snaplii is a cashback App where you earn instant cashback while purchasing gift cards. There is a wealth of gift card options, including Amazon, Best Buy, The Children's Place, and many more. To apply the $10 discount, you'll just need to enter code CA13B0 during checkout.
Besides the $10 signup bonus off your first gift card, you'll earn cashback on each gift card purchase (50% off a $20 gift card plus 10% instant cashback when purchasing a Children's Place gift card, for example). Additionally, you can stack this bonus and earnings with your favorite cashback app to score even more bonuses and cashback! Learn more about Snaplii in my featured post here, and learn more about stacking with cashback apps here.

Coinbase's $20 Instant & Bitcoin Contest (up to $68K Value)!
https://coinbase.com/join/V3HPBDY?src=referral-link
Coinbase recently went viral with its instant $20 signup and referral bonus promotion. They're about to go viral again with their brand new promotion: $20 instant signup and referral bonuses (up to 10 referrals), plus each referral gains you an entry into 1/10/25's BTC contest. One winner will receive 1 BTC - $68,913.27 value according to the terms - and 50 winners will each receive 200 USDC valued at $200.
If you haven't signed up for Coinbase, I strongly recommend doing so. Since I signed up in September, I've already earned over $300 in bonuses!
Last Two Days to Score $40 Bonuses From Rakuten!

GuChat Scam?
Last week, a new TESTING app called GuChat hit Referral World. Initially, GuChat offered $3.20 bonuses (5AV) but lowered it to 1AV ($0.64 value). While testing the app and promoting it, one RWN supporter shared their thoughts that this app reminds them of Telegram (Telegram is a legitimate international app but is notorious as a primary vehicle for scammers).
Off the bat, GuChat was buggy. Several referrers - myself included - ran into withdrawal issues where the app claimed "insufficient funds" while trying to withdraw the full bonus balance. I was able to get around this by withdrawing lower amounts. That said, the bonuses were promised to be paid to PayPal within 48 hours. It's been five days since I signed up and started referring, but I haven't received a single bonus. And I've attempted contacting support at
[email protected] multiple times but have received no responses (except for an initial canned reply that asked for my GuChat account details).
I don't know whether GuChat is scamming, but they have not paid out the bonuses owed so far. If you're considering signing up for GuChat, I recommend you hold off for now.
