PrizePool: Up to $100 Instant Bonuses, $500 Weekly Drawings!
https://links.getprizepool.com/PAPmJ7kJAIb - code 8B329
If you haven't signed up for PrizePool, yet, I strongly recommend doing so. Since signing up on 4/6, I scored $318.30 in bonuses! My earnings could've been even more had I not taken a vacation from Referral World for over a week and prioritized Aven Advisor over PrizePool once I returned (Aven offers similar bonuses, which I also highly recommend). PrizePool offers instant Bonuses with no deposit required. You'll get a guaranteed wheel spin when you sign up and a guaranteed $1-$100 wheel spin bonus for every referral. 
In addition to the signup and referral bonuses, PrizePool offers various ways of earning cash back and prizes through shopping, such as "Tap to Win" and "PrizeWheel." PrizePool also holds weekly drawings where you can win up to $500. Here is just a handful of the winners from yesterday's drawing.

Scrambly's Increased $10 Affiliate Bonuses (48-Hour Code)!
Scrambly emailed members today, giving us a code to use to increase our affiliate bonuses from $3 to $10 for 48 hours. If you refer Scrambly, you'll want to go into your Scrambly account, click BONUS > REDEEM and enter CRAZY10 (all caps). The email doesn't state how long this code is being offered, or if it's limited to a certain number of uses. I believe this to be like similar codes Scrambly's issued where the 48 hours starts once you enter the code.
Hat tip to RWN supporter Greg Darby for providing the email screenshot above. Greg's Scrambly link.
Speaking of Scrambly Emails, double-check your emails because I didn't receive this $10 email; the last email I received was the other day, when Scrambly asked me "why did you leave Scrambly?" I didn't leave Scrambly, and aside from being on vacation for a week, have been just as active as ever AND have money in my account. I filled out the feedback form they linked me to in the email and informed them of this. If you didn't receive this $10 bonus code email but received a similar "why did you leave" email, you may want to redeem the two codes they give you to reactivate your account, and perhaps fill out the form to ensure you start receiving emails again. The two codes they provided in the email are:
1. 250 Free Coins - code: FREE250
2. 30% Coin-Boost for 24 Hours - code: BOOST30
RIP "Ginger Minge"!
RWN sends its deepest condolences to my dear friends and RWN supporters, A & J. Their 15-year-old furbaby, Ginger, the sweetest Chihuahua I've ever met, crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning and is already terribly missed.
Ibotta's Increased $7 Referral Bonuses!
https://ibotta.onelink.me/iUfE/8cc13c64?friend_code=ugqlqeg - code UGQLQEG
If you refer Ibotta - the receipt-scanning/coupon cash back app - you'll want to check your app since Ibotta increased the referral bonuses from $5 to $7. The signup bonus is still $5. If you still see the $5 referral bonus in your app, exit out of the app and go back in.
If you haven't signed up for Ibotta yet, they're offering a $5 signup bonus when you do. To trigger the bonus, just download the app, enter code UGQLQEG, and scan your first qualifying receipt. More info here.

Privacy Code Redemption Issue is Resolved!
https://privacy.com/join/H3S9S - code H3S9S
Last week, I promoted Privacy, a must-have app I've used for years that lets you connect your bank and create virtual cards on the fly, which you can fully control. For whatever reason, it's flown under the Referral World radar despite its instant $5 signup and referral bonuses (which are applied towards your first purchase with your Privacy virtual card).
What I didn't realize last week was Privacy had a system bug that wasn't allowing the referral bonus credits to stack, and since I had a $5 referral bonus credit waiting to be used, it wasn't allowing others to use my referral code H3S9S (telling users I reached max redemptions). The great news is that Privacy resolved this bug, so referrers won't have this issue anymore! If you tried to sign up through me and were unable to, please try again and enter my code in the app. If you still have any issues, please email me and include the email address you used to sign up so that I can reach out to Privacy and ensure we get our bonuses.
I can't recommend it highly enough if you haven't signed up for Privacy. In just the past week, Privacy saved me nearly $100 from membership renewal attempts by two companies that I'd forgotten to cancel but did set max limits on those virtual cards back when I signed up for each company.
See my featured post here for more information about Privacy.
Fetch's Increased $3 Bonuses (Ends 5/8)!
https://fetchrewards.onelink.me/vvv3/referraltext?code=XRGUGB (code XRGUGB)
The receipt-scanning/cashback app, Fetch, offers an increased $1 signup and $3 referral bonus promotion, which ends on 5/8/24.
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.
Webull's Fantastic (Targeted) Penny Deposit Promos
https://www.referralworldnews.com/webull
If you have Webull, check your referral promotions because Webull has some fantastic promos running right now. Make sure you check the terms of each promotion, though, because Webull's been running targeted promotions, giving some the famous penny-deposit promos, while giving others similar promos but with $100 or even higher trigger requirements. Based on what I've been seeing, most, if not all, new Webull users have received and users who haven't really referred tend to be getting the penny deposit promos.
The best promos Webull is offering right now include:
Signup bonus: Three fractional shares when you deposit a penny by 5/15 ($9+ guaranteed value)
Referral bonus: 30 fractional shares for the first person who signs up through you successfully (guaranteed $90+ value, ends 5/15)
Referral bonus: 10 fractional shares for each successful referral (guaranteed $30+ value, up to 10 referrals, ends 5/15)
Referral bonus: Guaranteed $500 or $1,000 in Apple Shares when you successfully refer three people (ends 5/8)
If you haven't signed up for Webull yet, I have these penny deposit promotions and would love for you to sign up through me! You can find my featured Webull posts here and also here.

I Earned Over $130 in Less Than 24 Hours from Aven!
http://aven.com/advisor - code JOHN85527
Just yesterday afternoon, I reported how I just signed up for Aven Advisor, which has been around a few months but appeared to still be pretty unsaturated. To those who helped prove this yesterday by signing up through me, I want to thank you. In less than 24 hours, I already earned over $130 (and counting)!
If you haven't signed up for Aven yet, it offers a $5 signup bonus and $1-$100 referral bonuses based on a wheel spin you receive for each referral. ID is required, but there is no deposit requirement.
To sign up, simply click here to download the app. When asked in the app, be sure to enter code JOHN85527 so that we both receive our bonuses.
Rakuten's Coveted $40 Bonuses are Back through 5/13!
https://www.rakuten.com/r/MPHO202?eeid=28187
Rakuten, a leading cashback portal site and app, is running an increased $40 signup and $40 referral bonus promotion through 5/13/24. If you aren't a Rakuten member, simply sign up and make $40 or more in total purchases at their 3500+ partnered online retailers within 90 days (with many of whom you may already shop). The last time Rakuten looks to have run this promotion was six months ago (November, 2023)

RWN's Back From Vacation!
I'm back and refreshed after a week of house/yard projects and a mini-vacation to Palm Springs (thanks, Hopper)! If you haven't been to Palm Springs, I highly recommend it. And if it's been a while since your last vacation, I also recommend you start planning for one! Even if the "vacation" is taking a break from Referral World and social media. 
Aven's $5 Signup and $1-$100 Referral Bonuses!
http://aven.com/advisor - code JOHN85527
I signed up for another app today, Aven Advisor. This app helps people understand their finances, offering features such as checking credit scores, monitoring home equity, and getting personalized loan offers.
Aven's been around for a few months, but as far as I can tell, it isn't super-saturated yet. Aven offers a $5 signup bonus and $1-$100 referral bonuses based on a wheel spin you receive for each referral. No deposit is required, but ID and the last four digits of SSN are required.
To sign up, simply click here to download the app. When asked in the app, be sure to enter code JOHN85527 so that we both receive our bonuses.
For similar "Spin to Win" apps, I recommend checking out my featured posts on PrizePool (which also offers $1-$100 referral bonuses) and Split Drop, which offers wheel spins valued at $0.05-$250! I earned over $300 in just the few short weeks I've been referring PrizePool, and $220 in the few months I've referred Split Drop!
Final Hours for MoneyLion's $10-$60 Bonuses!
https://mlion.us/$55BONUS - code $55BONUS
If you haven't signed up for Moneylion, you still have time to score their $10-$60 bonus! You'll get $10 when you sign up and open a free RoarMoney checking account (double the $5 bonus they normally offer). There's no spend or deposit requirement, and you'll receive your $10 in 2-3 business days. Promo ends tonight at 8:59 PM PST. For more info on this promo, see my featured post here.
One Finance $20-$45 Bonuses Extended Through July 1st!
https://www.referralworldnews.com/one
I was prepared to announce today as being One Finance's last day for their near-instant $20-$45 signup and referral bonus promotion, but after checking the terms, I found that the promotion has been extended through 7/1/24.
If you haven't signed up for One Finance yet, see my featured post here and tips and tricks for navigating the app here.
Stimulus Is Back (but Beware of Deceptive Promotors)!
https://www.stimulus.com/ref/becca12
Stimulus is one of the most viral apps that hit Referral World this past year. I still haven't signed up for it, and I don't have a good reason. That said, Stimulus has proven itself legit, has paid out, and, to my knowledge, has had few complaints from referrers.
That said, I have seen a handful of people deceptively promoting Stimulus. You see, Stimulus offers $10 referral bonuses, but they offer no signup bonus. Also, not everybody gets a referral link right away. Based on what I've gathered, a person signing up is more likely to get a referral link by verifying their account and identity, adding their photo to their profile ASAP, participating in Stimulus giveaways, and engaging on the site (interacting with posts through comments and reactions, making posts, etc.) Based on what I've gathered from these reports, some still don't get a link right away but get a link when the next Stimulus promotion comes around. Stimulus pays by sending straight cash by UPS or USPS. Referrers who earn over $1,000 from Stimulus can opt for bank deposits.
While the majority of those promoting Stimulus are advertising the promotion correctly, you'll want to avoid signing up through someone who makes false statements such as, "We both get bonuses," "Just sign up and verify for your bonus," or posts where the authors are either stating the bonuses are higher than $10 or making unsupported, baseless claims of having earned hundreds or even thousands in hours/minutes.
If you haven't signed up for Stimulus yet and would like to, please consider using RWN supporter Becca Carlson's link: https://www.stimulus.com/ref/becca12
Wishew Launches App, Delays Referral Withdrawals (Again)!
Good news and bad news for those of us who referred to Wishew. Wishew was the pre-launch app that was originally set to launch their app on March 20, then pushed the date out to April 29. The good news is that they have launched the app for both Apple (requires iOS 16 and later) and Android. The bad news is that they also pushed out the date we'll be able to withdraw our bonuses to 5/25/24.
While I appreciate Wishew's reply to my email inquiry yesterday, I'm admittedly disappointed. They mention being a startup, but most startups don't advertise $1,000,000 in referral bonuses without prioritizing paying the bonuses out when they promised to pay them. That said, considering they did release the app, I'm hopeful they will come through in May with no further delays. See the screenshots below for my email to them yesterday, along with their response.
Privacy Referral Redemption Bug
https://www.referralworldnews.com/privacy
A couple of weeks ago, I reported on one of my favorite essential apps, Privacy, which allows you to connect your bank and create virtual cards. Even though I've been an active user for years, I hadn't referred it very actively, and when doing so in RWN, I learned of a bug in the app. Apparently, once you have one $5 referral credit sitting in your account, Privacy doesn't allow others to use your referral code until you've spent the $5 credit. I reached out to support, who assured me they were working to resolve the issue. If you tried signing up through me but were unable to use my referral code, please email me and let me know the email/phone you used to sign up. I've been told by Privacy that once the issue is resolved, you will be able to use my referral code, and we'll receive our bonuses.
