Exceed is Back!
Exceed, the investing app that went viral in January, has followed through with their commitment to letting us claim our earned bonuses from that promotion. At the time, they were still waiting for their first investment opportunity to launch. Now that they have, members are able to claim their earned bonuses, and Exceed has rebooted their $20 signup bonus and referral promotion.
Earn $20 when you sign up and verify your Exceed account. In their promo, they mention an initial deposit requirement but that is not mentioned in the terms. If it is actually required, you should be able to simply deposit $1 to trigger the bonus. I've reached out to Exceed for more information on this.

Mos Ending Banking, Closing Debit Accounts in May
Mos, the app-based banking app geared towards college students, is ending their debit card and banking on 5/17/23. According to the email they sent out today, they are looking to focus more on their financial aid tools. They are asking members to withdraw/transfer their funds out of their Mos -accounts by 5/17, either to a linked bank or via CashApp/Venmo transfer.
As of this article, Mos's referral program still appears to be running (that will likely end soon). They've been offering $5 signup bonuses for former/current college students with an .edu email address ($1 for everyone else). There's no deposit or spend requirement. These bonuses used to be instant; they now take 1-2 business days to post to your account.
Lili Auto-Upgraded Accounts to $9 Monthly Pro Plan!
Are you a Lili accountholder? If you're like me, you signed up for Lili back in 2021/2022 when they were offering their $50-$100 signup and referral bonuses. Lili ended their referral program in Jan/Feb 2022, and I haven't used them since, though I still have a bit of money in my Lili account.
Imagine my surprise when I received an email from Lili this morning, informing me that they've upgraded me a 2-month free trial of their $9 monthly "Pro Account" plan! According to the email, I'll see a $9 monthly charge for the next two months but those fees will be reimbursed. After two months, however, I will be charged $9 per month until I contact them to revert to their free "Lili Basic" plan.
I couldn't find anywhere in the app or website to decline this trial or revert to their free plan. In the email, however, they state this can be done by replying directly to the email they sent today, or by contacting their customer service. You can reach their customer service by emailing [email protected] or by calling 855-545-4380. The email also states that your account will revert to the "Lili Basic" plan automatically IF you don't log into your account between now and when the free trial ends.
Reminder: Apollo Shutting Down 4/27/23
https://withapollo.app.link/JOHN3 - code: JOHN3
On 3/31, investment app, Apollo, sent out two emails to customers informing us of their closure. If you have rewards and/or investments with Apollo, be sure to sell/transfer/withdraw before this date. If you're selling, you'll want to do this ASAP to allow time for the sales to settle so you can withdraw. According to their email, any funds/rewards still in your account after 4/27 will be returned to your linked account or sent to you via check using the address you have on file.
Until then, the Apollo referral program appears to remain active (we're still able to refer others from within the app). If you're interested in earning stock bonuses these next 10 days, use my referral link/code above. Apollo offers a free stock worth $3-$1,000 instant when you deposit $10. 
4/18 is Federal Tax Deadline!
For all you last-minute Lucies, just a quick reminder that the deadline to file your taxes is tomorrow (Tuesday, 4/18/23). Best of luck!
If you've already filed, how was your experience this year? Email me and let me know how it went for you, and especially if you have any tips for filing as a referral marketer that you want to share! 
Upgrade $50 Bonuses Extended through 4/30!
http://upgrade.com/r/knJw0ZPTkl
Upgrade, a popular app-based bank, has extended their $50 signup and referral bonus promotion. It was originally set to expire on 4/15 but is now extended through 4/30. This is one of the easiest opportunities because you only need to sign up for their free checking account and make three purchases for ANY amount to trigger (I easily triggered my bonus by reloading my Amazon gift card balance with $1 three times). You can also earn up to ten referral bonuses ($500).
When Upgrade offered a similar promotion last year, I quickly maxed out those bonuses, and am on my way to doing the same with this current promotion!
Tango Has Ended!
Over the weekend, a new app called Tango went viral in Referral World. Signing up was easy, only requiring name and email (and email verification). Referrers were supposed to receive $25 Visa gift cards for every five referrals. Tango was initially paying out instantly, but as the promotion gained steam, they paused the payouts and by early afternoon on Saturday, shut down the promotion entirely.
Several referrers, myself included, are owed earned bonuses but, as of yet, we've received no word from the company on whether we'll be receiving anything.
If you referred Tango and are owed bonuses, here is the contact information for both Tango and Referral Rock (Referral Rock was hosting Tango's referral program).
Tango: https://www.tango.us/contact
Referral Rock: https://referralrock.com/contact/
I reached out to both parties on Saturday. I will provide an update once I hear back.
Tango Update: They sent out emails to customers who reached out to them over the weekend. Supposedly, they're claiming there were some fraudulent signups. They are telling us they're going to send a TOTAL of $10 for all the referrals we brought them on Saturday. Some referrers, in response, have filed BBB complaints. 
Webull's Extra $500 Promo Ends Today!
https://a.webull.com/md1l7iH11jCmzIlOyX
This month, Webull rebooted a promotion they ran last month, where you receive an additional $500 in Apple shares when five people open a free CASH or MARGIN account through you and deposit a penny. This $500 bonus promotion ends tonight at 12AM Eastern Time. Note that they still are offering their double stocks signup bonus where you receive 12, 20 or 24 fractional shares - (double the usual 6, 10 or 12 shares), and also their double referral bonus of 20 fractional shares for your first referral. All additional referrals still earn you 10 fractional shares.
I can't recommend Webull highly enough!
Final Days of Chime's $150 Bonuses!
https://www.chime.com/r/johnmegowan/
Tomorrow, 4/18, is the last day of Chime's increased $150 signup and referral bonuses. Once this promotion expires, the bonuses are expected to return to the standard $100, which is still the highest offering from the app-based bank bonuses I've seen.
If you don't have Chime yet, I highly recommend signing up for a few reasons:
You trigger the $100 bonus when you make your first $200+ ACH or direct deposit within 45 days (I triggered the bonus by signing up for Chime, and from within my Chase Bank account, connected Chime to Chase and transferred $205 from Chase to Chime.)
Chime is one of the few app-based banking app that you can connect to Webull to make the penny deposit and earn Webull signup and referral bonuses.
Chime offers a "SPOT ME" program when you sign up for direct deposit.
