Finary Now Requires $10 Deposit
Thanks to a tip from Jessica Nashay, RWN has learned that Finary, the wealth tracking app, now requires a $10 deposit in order to receive your signup bonus (and also for your referrer to receive their referral bonus). This appears to be a new change since a deposit wasn't previously required. $10 seems to be the magic number for these newer stock apps. In recent months, Iconik (available for Android and iOS) and Apollo (iOS only) also implemented the $10 requirement. The good news is that, while all three apps require the $10 deposit, you're not required to use that money to purchase stocks. Once you collect your signup bonus, you can withdraw your deposit if you choose (along with selling your bonus stock).

I JUST SCORED $3,100 FROM WEBULL!
Remember all the times I said how great Webull's signup and referral bonuses are? If you ever doubted me, here's even more proof that I haven't been steering you wrong. Yesterday, RWN follower, Brian F., signed up for Webull through me and among the referral bonus shares I received, one of them was the coveted $3,000 award in Tesla stocks! Combined with the other bonuses I received, I earned $3,100 yesterday. And over $9K, in total. And guess what? I'm not the only one. I am the 3rd recipient of this bonus I've seen in the past month! I'm sure there are more winners. These other two are people I personally know and/or saw their bonus proof in recent weeks.
If you haven't signed up, yet, DO IT! You are missing out! And don't be deterred if you know little to nothing about stocks. Webull makes the process super simple to understand, and you can also reach out to me for answers to any Webull questions you may have!
Limited Oxygen
https://www.buymeacoffee.com/johnmego/oxygen-5-near-instant-bonus-100-deposit-bonus-opportunity
A few days back, I reported on being pleasantly surprised that Oxygen's $5 near-instant signup/referral bonuses returned. That day, I was grabbing my current link (because as most Oxygen referrers know, the referral links are actually only good for 30 days. Even though they still appear to work after, they're actually expired). Oxygen never sent out an email announcing the $5 bonus return, and apparently, it was either a short-lived promotion, or was a bug on their end that it was showing up in the app again. Regardless, Oxygen - once again - removed the $5 signup and referral bonus offers. So, like the first time they did it, they still have the $100 Direct Deposit bonuses available. You can find more info on this and other great banking signup/referral promotions here.

Webull's Double-Bonus for 1st Ref, Unlim. Bonuses Promo
You may have picked up on it from my previous articles, but Webull, a popular stocks app, is one of my favorite apps to refer due to their frequent and generous signup and referral bonus promotions. Each month, Webull runs a new promotion, and in the past few months, they've been sticking to the same basic benefits: Sign up, open a free brokerage account and deposit a penny to get up to 12 free fractional shares, ranging from $34+ to $76+ - and possibly much higher - in value. And on the referral side, they've been offering 1-20 full Apple shares when you successfully refer 3 people during the month, and another 1-20 full Apple shares when you refer 7. On top of that, they offered 15 fractional shares - $45+ value - for your first 10 referrals. The past few months, they've been making the "free 15 shares" a 2-week promotion, then rebooting the promotion so that referrers could potentially earn these shares for up to 20 referrals.
This month, they switched things up, making this promotion EVEN BETTER! The signup bonus and Apple shares promotion remain the same. And now through the end of November, you will get 30 shares for the first person you successfully refer ($90+ value)! Webull also removed the "10 referrals max" limit, making your referral earnings potential unlimited!
This is a welcome change, a change I hope sticks around for a while with future Webull promotions!
Steady Ends Referral Bonuses
Steady, the rewards app that had a $10 referral program for months, secretly shut down the bonus program. I'm not sure the exact day since Steady never emailed members informing us of the change. In the app, you can still refer others, but there are no bonuses for doing so. Hopefully this is temporary; I will provide an update once I learn more.

Fintron's 365-Day Hold
As reported the other day, Fintron's referral promotion has returned! Not long after it started going viral again, RWN supporter, Leticia Lopez, discovered that Fintron implemented a new 365-day hold on any/all signup and referral bonuses before being able to withdraw. Hopefully, there is a loophole to get around the hold.

Oxygen's $5 Bonus Promotion Returns!
https://oxygenbank.onelink.me/vjPj/xohjjamb
Oxygen's near-instant $5 signup and referral bonuses are back! As reported on 9/22, Oxygen had ended the $5 signup/referral bonuses for their free "Oxygen" tier. They still offered the $100 direct deposit/spend bonuses, and they also preserved the $10 signup/referral bonuses for paid-tier accounts.
Today, I checked the app and found that the $5 bonuses are back, and am assuming they restored the promotion either today or sometime this past week. There was no email sent out to inform customers that the promotion was returning.

Ugami Lowers Bonuses from 4K to 400 Ugipoints
Ugami, a "Debit Card for Gamers" app which recently went viral, has lowered their signup and referral bonuses. Initially, the bonuses were 4,000 UP (ugipoints). As of today, the bonuses are now a 90% lower 400 UP.
Ando Charged $9 Fee in Money Grab Before Shutting Down
As reported in the last issue of RWN, Ando shut down on 11/4/22. In what looks to have been an oversight (at best) or an intentional money-grab (at worst), Ando charged all customers $8.99 for their newly-implemented "maintenance fee" just days before shutting down. I was one of these customers and, despite withdrawing all funds earlier in the month, this didn't prevent them from charging me and putting the account in the negative. Upon discovering this, I reached out to Ando - (844) 960-3939 - and they refunded this credit. I also shut my account down to ensure there were no more surprises before they closed.
While on the phone, I asked the Ando rep if they had any plans of reversing this fee for all customers without the need for every single customer to have to call. Ando told me they were unable to do this, to which I replied with a few choice words on how ridiculous that was.
If you didn't close your account and were charged this fee on or about 10/30/22, you will want to be sure and reach out to them to get the funds returned to you. Being after 11/4, I'm not sure how this will be handled, or even if you can still reach them.
