The New Year Brings Renewed Opportunities!

If you were a go-getter in 2024 and maxed out your referral bonuses for specific apps, GREAT NEWS: 2025 means that the cap resets, and you can start referring these apps again! A few examples of apps include:

$120 Instant Earned From MyFreeApp in Four Days!
https://www.myfreeapp.io?referral_code=ZQZJWEMP
MyFreeApp, a new GPT app that went viral in Referral World a few months back, is currently running a 5X referral bonus promotion with $3 instant signup (cashout) bonuses and unlimited $15 instant referral bonuses. I've already received $120 in referral bonuses in the past four days, earning MyFreeApp a spot on my December Wales (biggest earners) list!
To trigger the signup bonus, simply sign up and cash out $3 or more. As soon as you do, you'll receive your $3 cashout bonus. You'll also have your own referral bonus to share with others. A nice perk to this app is that your referral bonuses can be used to trigger your own cashout bonus. This means that you can refer one person, cash out your bonus and you'll earn your $3 signup bonus! Bonuses can be withdrawn to PayPal and various gift cards (Amazon, Walmart, etc.).
This promotion ends 1/5/25
12/30/24
Scrambly's Instant $5 Cashout and $14 Affiliate Bonus Promos!
Scrambly shared a new promo code with members! You can redeem code CHARM (click BONUS > Redeem) to earn increased, unlimited $14 affiliate bonuses for seven days! Good for the first 200 redemptions.
If you haven't signed up for Scrambly yet, you can sign up by using this link, and you can find more info along with recommended offers for quick earnings here.
TikTok's New User Bonuses ($70) and 15 Clicks Daily (Ends 1/1)!
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYnpNM2X/
TikTok has increased their bonuses multiple times since the signup and referral bonus promotion returned on 12/23. Just this morning, they increased the new-user bonus from $60 to $70, and also increased the possible existing-user clicks from 10 to 15! With each click being worth $2, you can now earn up to $30 per day as existing users click your link. The limit resets daily at 9 PM EST, and this increased promotion ends 1/1/25. More info here.
Easy Paying Referral Apps is Back!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/easypayingreferralapps
RWN is excited to announce the return of the wildly popular Facebook referral group, EASY PAYING REFERRAL APPS 🤑🤑🤑! The group was paused for a few months after Facebook issued a handful of bogus violations on referrers' legitimate app posts - something they're infamous for doing - which put the group at risk.
Before the group was paused, it was one of the top groups frequented by trustworthy members referring legitimate app signup and referral bonuses. And there were multiple cash giveaways (examples here and here). As the group owner, I can confidently say that we'll be holding more of those soon! RWN supporters Becca, Greg, Steven, and Jonny also manage the group!
Hopefully the group will remain open this time. If you're already a group member, you can resume sharing your apps in the group. If you're not yet a member, join us! More info here.

How to Trigger Citi's $350 Bonus!
If you signed up for a Citi checking account, you likely can score a $325 deposit bonus. To trigger this bonus, you only need to receive two or more deposits within 90 calendar days of account opening, totaling $3,000 or more. Qualifying deposits include recurring paychecks, pension, Social Security payments, and PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle transfers! You can use your Zelle/PayPal/Venmo account to send funds to your Citi account. In the case of PayPal, you'll want to ensure you're using ACH transfer.
Based on my research, since this is a deposit bonus instead of a minimum balance bonus, you should be able to send smaller amounts to/from Citi multiple times to trigger. For example, send $500 back and forth six times, or send $200 back and forth 15 times, etc.
Best of luck, and if you're looking for more great bank bonuses, I highly recommend MoneyLion, which is running an increased $10-$60 signup and referral bonus promotion (no spend/deposit requirement to receive the $10). And you can find several great bank bonuses and tips to trigger them here.
MoneyLion is my Cash Cow and can be Yours, Too!
https://mlion.us/$55BONUS - code $55BONUS
If you're a regular RWN reader, you may know that MoneyLion is hands-down my favorite banking app to refer, and for good reason: I've earned $1,915 in referral bonuses so far this month - with more on the way - and over $12K since I started promoting it. This one's so easy because there is no spend or deposit requirement to receive the $10 signup bonus, and the $50 deposit bonus can easily be triggered by receiving one direct deposit from an employer or by making an external $100+ transfer using Current or Found apps.
Note that the bonuses are usually $5-$55, but MoneyLion is running a "Referral Rush" promotion through 1/19, doubling the signup and referral bonuses. More info here.
GuChat SLOWLY Paying Owed Bonuses!
GuChat, a TESTING app that went viral in Referral World a few weeks back, finally started paying referrers owed bonuses paid referrers over the past few weeks. The payouts have been slow (much slower than the promised 48 business hours or less). I've received a total of six payments so far and am still owed more. Hopefully, GuChat will continue sending payments. I personally stopped promoting this app for this reason and recommend that you set your expectations low if you choose to refer them for now.
Flash's Instant Gift Cards Brought Holiday Joy!
https://referralworldnews.com/flash
One of December's most significant highlights for me has been Flash, which I signed up for on 12/16 after it went viral in Referral World. It's a purchase tracking/cashback app offering a 1,250 point signup bonus and 1,000+ point referral bonuses (up to 100 referrals). The bonuses are instant and can be redeemed instantly for various gift cards ranging from $5-$100. In less than two weeks, I earned $488.75 in bonuses, $425 of which I've already cashed out to Macy's and Amazon gift cards, and was able to carry on a 3-year tradition of shopping with my other half just after Christmas to score some sweet post-holiday discounts.
Huge thanks to everyone who signed up through me! And if you haven't signed up yet, you can find more info here.
My Top 10 December Earners Scored me Over $3.4K So Far!

Even though I refer over 100 legit apps and earn bonuses from most of them here and there, ten of them have earned me over $3.4K in December alone! Check them out here with info and screenshots included.
Final Days of Drumo's Instant $10 Bonuses (Ends 12/31)!
https://drumo.com/?ref=2409fbafe9c4
Drumo, a GPT app, is wrapping up its increased $5 signup (usually $2) and $10 referral bonus promo. I've already earned $133.31 this month, making Drumo one of my biggest December Earners (complete list here). You'll get the $5 signup bonus when you cash out $5 or more for the first time, and each referral bonus as your referees do the same. Bonuses are instant, and pay to your choice of PayPal or gift cards (including Amazon, Visa, Venmo, Walmart, and more). More info here.
Final Days for Grifin's $20 Bonuses (Ends 12/31)!
https://grifin.app.link/OwEoa7ucgxb - code FNJPA8
Grifin increased their signup and referral bonuses from $5 to $20 on 12/23, and you still have a couple days to get in on this 4X promo. $20 signup bonus when you sign up and deposit or invest $5 (your choice). $20 unlimited referral bonuses through 12/31.
One thing to note is that Grifin recently implemented a monthly $5 subscription fee (with cheaper annual/lifetime options). I don't personally like subscription fees, but because I have earned thousands in bonuses from Grifin since signing up in February. And I earned another $90 since they started this promotion. Since they keep offering great promotions like this one, I bought the lifetime subscription without a second thought. More info here.
Don't Miss Out on Meta's $60 Bonuses (Ends 12/31)!
https://www.meta.com/referrals/link/JJBNu/?utm_source=share_link
Did you purchase or receive a Meta Quest VR headset over the holidays? If so, don't miss out on a $60 bonus opportunity. Just click this link to activate the headset (or pass it along to the person you gifted it to if that's the case) and activate it. Doing so will get us both $60 in Meta store credit that can be used towards games, Quest accessories, etc. You'll also get your own link to share with others. Note that you'll need to do this by 12/31, or the bonuses will drop to their standard $30. More info here.
Final 3 Days for $15-$30 Bonuses from RebatesMe (Ends 1/1)!
https://www.rebatesme.com/r/tsiyb9
If you're referring RebatesMe or haven't signed up yet, you'll want to act fast as this worldwide cashback app's increased $15 signup and $30 referral bonus promo ends 1/1/25. To trigger the signup bonus, simply spend $15 through RebatesMe at any of their thousands of retailers within 30 days of signing up. You'll earn $30 referral bonuses for each referee who does the same. Note that if you or your referees sign up by 1/1, you'll have nearly all of January to trigger the bonuses. See more here.
MyFreeApp's $15 Instant Bonuses!
https://www.myfreeapp.io?referral_code=ZQZJWEMP - code ZQZJWEMP
MyFreeApp's increased their referral bonuses from $3 to $15 instant last week, and just last night, I received $45 from folks who signed up through me and cashed out their first $3! Big thanks to Thomas, Sean and Kaci for doing this and best of luck to all three of you!
If you haven't signed up yet, or if you have but haven't cashed out your first $3, you can get a $3 signup bonus with your first $3 cashout and will be able to immediately earn $15 referral bonuses for everyone who does the same using your link/code. This promo ends 1/5. More info here.
