And if you haven't signed up for Stash, yet, you can also score $20 $30 in cash or stock (your choice) by signing up and depositing a penny or more. $30 referral bonuses as well, up to $1,000 in bonuses per year. More info here.
ShopBack's NEW, Increased $20/$30 Bonus Promo!
https://app.shopback.com/zytIb4qrlRb - code wBUA8m - [US, AU, DE, HK, IDN, KOR, MY, NZ, PH, SG, TW, TH, VN]
Shopback just started another increased promo offering a $20 signup and unlimited $30 referral bonuses through 4/15!
Earning the signup bonus is quite easy right now as you only need to sign up, add and verify your PayPal withdrawal method, and shop at any of their 20,000 online or in-store retailers using the Shopback portal. This is even easier now since ShopBack also increased cashback bonuses up to 20% for multiple retailers (DoorDash, Walmart, Temu, Sam's Club, Uber Eats, Home Depot, and more).
You'll trigger the signup bonuses once you spend $5+ cashback within 180 days. And as soon as you sign up, you'll get your own referral link/code to share and earn unlimited $30 bonuses. Note that you'll also have to earn $5 in cashback before you can withdraw the confirmed bonuses you've earned.
Once your signup bonus is triggered, payment times vary depending on which offers you complete (Amazon cashback pays out after 30 days, for instance).
I highly recommend jumping on this opportunity. Because ShopBack is still so new in Referral World, I landed $5,400 in potential bonuses since signing up on 2/10 (the actual amount will be TBD by referees who successfully trigger the bonuses) and have already withdrawn $565. The $20/$30 promo ends 4/15.

April's List of 100+ Legit Bonus Opportunities!
https://www.referralworldnews.com/referrals
As you may know, I publish a fresh list of signup and referral bonuses each month. April's list is out now! Categorized and alphabetized with current bonuses and steps to trigger the bonuses. This month includes "Make it Rain" (FEATURED) and INSTANT App sections. Be sure to check it out (and bookmark it)! I update the list throughout the month to keep the info current!
Citi's $100 Referral Promo Rebooted, $325-$2K Opportunities!
If you are a Citibank member and have been waiting for your referral link, you'll want to check your email. They paid out and issued another batch of links for their $100 referral bonus program (max 20 referrals).
If you haven't signed up yet, there's no deposit or spend requirement to sign up, and they also give you a $325 deposit bonus by making two or more ACH transfers totaling $3K or more within 90 days (you can use PayPal/Venmo/Zelle, etc. to trigger). While signing up won't get you a signup bonus, you'll receive your referral link within a few weeks via email to refer and earn $100 bonuses (up to $2,000)! More info here (including tips on how to easily trigger the $325 bonus), and for more great banking bonuses, see my featured post here.

NEW: $5 signup bonus from Ask Guys, $100 Referral Bonus Opportunity! [US, CAN]
https://forwardrocketlaunch.com/?a=66245&c=77799
A brand new app/site promo from the makers of "Ask Mom" hit Referral World this morning called... wait for it... Ask Guys. Ask Guys is a community of men using their collective voice to improve the products and services they use every day. This GPT (get-paid-to) also offers surveys, polls, sweepstakes, and rewards members who complete them with gift cards. You'll get a $5 when you sign up, verify your phone and email, and complete your first 5-minute survey. You can cash out to your choice of Amazon, CVS or Walmart gift cards once you reach $10.
Ask Guys also has a referral program that earns you rewards as you refer others. Refer five others, receive an Ask Guys glossy sticker. Refer 100 and receive a $100 Amazon gift card! 100 referrals may sound like a lot, but I recently completed this easy-peasy with the same Ask Mom promotion. And since this is so new, there's huge earlybird opportunity to easily achieve this as you get the word out to others. More info on Ask Guys and its promotion here.

Hot Takes Signup and Referral Bonuses Lowered to $1!
That was fast! I posted about Hot Takes a few hours ago and they've already lowered the instant signup and referral bonuses to $1. Likely the Referral World viral effect triggered the changes. More info here.
New, Instant Cashout: $2 Signup and $5 Bonuses from Hot Takes [US/CAN]!
A brand new INSTANT app just hit Referral World called Hot Takes! The app is free to download and you instantly get $2 when you sign up and use code EjJx2nVq7Rb which you can cash out to your choice of Bitcoin, Venmo, PayPal, or Bank Transfer. I signed up 20 minutes ago and it only took 1-2 minutes to sign up. I cashed out to PayPal which I received instantly. You'll want to jump on this one, it has "early bird" written all over it!
Note that the app mentions $1.25 referral bonuses but as of right now, they're actually $5 referral bonuses! Don't sleep on this one.
Varo's New $100 Deposit Bonus Option [US]!
If you refer Varo, check your app to see if you have the new "Get $100" bonus promotion they offered to certain members. This promo offers a $100 signup bonus to the first five people each calendar year who use your link to open a new checking account and receive $500 in qualifying deposits within the first 45 days. Qualifying deposits include direct deposits from an employer and/or gig/delivery apps (i.e., DoorDash and Instacart). And with similar past Varo promotions, external transfers from the following banks have also triggered the bonus (YMMV): Alliant, Ally, Charles Schwab, Current, Discover, M&T, Unify, USAA, Wealthfront, and Wise. This promotion comes with a new link, so you'll want to be sure and share the new link if you have this promotion.
If you haven't signed up yet, you can earn a $100 signup bonus when you use this link, or a $25 signup bonus when you use this link and spend $20 anywhere within 30 days. I received two $25 referral bonuses from this promo in March, earning Varo a spot on this month's Biggest Earners list!

Oh No, Obi [Worldwide]!
Last week, a new app promo hit Referral World called Obi. The rideshare cost-saving app looked to have great potential, offering $5 referral bonuses. Unfortunately, nobody I know - myself included - received any referral bonuses so far. I contacted the company multiple times over the past week but never received a response to my inquiries. I did, however, receive an invite to leave an app store review, to which I replied that they probably don't want me to leave a reply right now, considering they were otherwise ghosting me and not paying owed bonuses.
Yesterday, I finally received an email from Obi that they sent out to all members, it seems. The email is an invite to their referral program (huh?) and there appears to be a bit of revisionist history. The email says that they're nearing a million users, and they ask us to refer others, stating that "we will shortly be launching a paid referral program, too, and will backdate any referrals to the start of 2025."
This "paid referrals in the future" bit contradicts notifications sent to members last week:
I emailed Obi regarding this about-face and will provide an update if and when I receive a response. For now, I recommend holding off on referring Obi as it's giving me the same feeling I had last year with Smart Desktop AI (which turned out to be a huge scam that never paid out owed bonuses).
In the meantime, I recommend signing up for ZOZOFIT, which hit Referral World a few days before Obi and has paid me out multiple times this past week. More info on ZOZOFIT here.
Fetch's Increased $4 Referral Bonuses [US, Puerto Rico]!
https://fetchrewards.onelink.me/vvv3/referraltext?code=XRGUGB (code XRGUGB)
The receipt-scanning/cashback app, Fetch, started a new promo today, which runs through 4/2: get a $2 signup bonus when you sign up and scan your first receipt. Get a $4 referral bonus for each person who uses your link.
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.
RIP, Bingo Champions!
Bingo Champions may still be active, but the once-viral app is dead to me and other referrers. Why? Because over the past couple of months, the app paused payments for some time, where nobody could withdraw their winnings. They resumed payments a few weeks back, but this past week or so, they made it so you can't use your bonuses to play the games.
For instance, I currently have over $9 in my account. But I am blocked from playing any paid games because the app will only allow me to use just $1.60 from my $9.50 balance towards the game, requiring me to deposit money if I want to play. This blows my mind, and is just the latest blocker to being able to withdraw from the app because you can only withdraw your winnings, and each time you play a game, it pulls the funds out of your winnings first, THEN your account balance (note that Skillz also does this).
I really enjoyed this game and was grateful I was able to max out my referral bonuses, play and collect my winnings before these shenanigans. RIP, Bingo Champions. I'll always remember the good times.
Hat tip to RWN supporter Becca Carlson for this tip!
My Whales are Breaching [US & Worldwide]!
https://www.referralworldnews.com/whales
On 3/24, I published my list of March's Whales, containing my top-earning apps for the month, including the breakdown and screenshot proof for each app's earnings and the overall total. When I published the list, I'd earned just over $4.2K. Each day, I've been updating these totals. This morning, that total has increased to over $4.7K! To everyone who's signed up for an app through me, I can't thank you enough, and I hope you consider referring these whales yourself and have similar results! You can see my complete list of March's top earners here.
ShopBack's Withdrawal Processing Delays Explained!
https://app.shopback.com/BoGWNctaVRb - code wBUA8m [US, AU, DE, HK, IDN, KOR, MY, NZ, PH, SG, TW, TH, VN]
You're not alone if you've withdrawn your ShopBack bonus(es) this past week and noticed a delay. Members received in-app notifications last week informing us that withdrawals would not be processed this week. Two RWN supporters contacted me today asking me about it, so I contacted ShopBack for more information. ShopBack quickly replied and here was their response:
This coincides with our annual global payout system maintenance/upgrade - it happens once a year where there's a slight delay and we proactive inform users like yourself when you request for a cash out. After the upgrade is over, the cash out speeds will be back to normal! Hope this helps, and let me know if you face further delays after which but I don't believe you will!
So far, I've been super impressed with the quick response and, of course, the generous promotions from ShopBack. Since I started referring ShopBack on February 10th, I've already earned over $5,000 in potential bonuses (the actual amount will be determined by who completes the $5 earned cashback in the 180-day requirement). And this past week, I've already received and withdrawn over $500 in bonuses which I expect to be receiving next week.
Through 3/31, you can earn an increased $20 signup bonus along with unlimited (increased) $30 referral bonuses, and ShopBack also has several boosted cashback offers so you can quickly and easily trigger your signup bonus. More info and recommended methods to trigger the bonus here.
Bigcash's Supreme King Offer to Earn Big Bucks [US]!
https://bigcashweb.com/refer/skzlocn0 - Promo Code JJBONUS
Right now, Bigcash has a great offer through Supreme King: Earn an increased $11.90 (regularly $4) by downloading and playing any game. You can find the offer by clicking EARN and looking for "Supreme King" in the list. The offer credits quickly (one RWN supporter noted it took them less than 5 minutes). If you're looking for a Bingo Champions alternative - see my article above - this is a great opportunity to find a new game and earn a nice bonus!
If you haven't signed up for Bigcash yet, it's one of my top-earning apps for the second consecutive month (I received and cashed out $201.75 in February and $376 so far this month). See my featured post here for more info on BigCash and their current increased promotions.

Apps Left Behind, Pt 6!
This is the sixth installment of RWN climbing up on its soapbox in elder fashion to remind you of great apps that are still out there but not promoted as frequently. In a sea of fly-by-nighters, bait-and-switchers, and "New! New! New!" viral apps, these "tried and true" apps have been around the block, have proven themselves time and time again but have flown under the radar in recent months (or even years):
Capital One Venture [Increased Promo 3/2; US] - https://i.capitalone.com/G3EQRfwVp - Sign up using my referral link and get 100,000 miles when you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first three months (worth $1,000 when you redeem for travel) plus 2X miles. 10,000 miles referral bonuses (worth $100 when redeemed for travel, up to 50K miles per year).
Future - https://getfuturecard.com/22202928232726 - Get $5 instantly when you sign up and load $10 into your account. Get another $15 when you spend $50 anywhere! $15 referral bonuses! The $15 bonuses post once the spend transactions clear (typically within a day). More info here.
Honey - http://joinhoney.com/ref/x160d1v - Get a $5 Bonus when you sign up using my referral link and make your first purchase through their portal with any of their qualifying merchants.
