Webull Lowers Signup Bonus Guarantee, New Referral Promo!
https://a.webull.com/yNyl7iH11jCmzIlGRb
Webull is known for a few things: They're also known for gimmicky, yet generous, promotions, which are ever-changing. And in my house, Webull's known for being my highest-earning app. To date, I've earned nearly $12,500 in free stocks, all but just over $100 of which have been from signup and referral bonuses, along with gains from my investments.
If you haven't signed up for Webull, yet, you're missing out. Even if you never plan to refer Webull EVER, you're guaranteed $18-$36 just by opening a free account and depositing one penny. And this is the minimum amount you'll receive; you could potentially earn much more (you'll receive 6-12 stocks based on a wheel spin. Each stock is a guaranteed $3 but can be up to $3,000 each).
Webull's signup bonus promotion typically stays the same, only changing a few times per year. Having said that, Webull did just end their limited time guaranteed "up to 24 free stocks" signup bonus promotion, which offered a minimum guaranteed $36+ bonus. The minimum guaranteed amount is now $18. While I hope they raise this soon, I don't expect them to because, as I mentioned, they don't change the signup bonus promotions very often.
What does change each month, and often multiple times per month, are the referral bonus promotions. Webull's current promotion involves spinning the wheel with each referral, awarding you 5-100 free stocks free stocks with each spin (each stock $3-$3000 value):
Your 1st referral gets you TWO spins (10-200 free stocks);
Your 3rd referral gets you FIVE spins (25-500 free stocks);
Your 7th referral gets you SEVEN spins (35-700 free stocks);
Get ONE spin with every other referral (5-100 free stocks);

Upgrade's Latest and Disappointing Promotion!
https://upgrade.com/r/HFR2ZgLj5U
Upgrade, a popular app-based bank, has returned with a brand new $50 signup and referral bonus promotion. To the dismay of many of us in Referral World, this latest promotion now requires $1,000 in eligible direct deposits within 45 days of account opening in order to trigger the bonuses. Upgrade's prior promotions were much more favorable as they didn't require direct deposits, instead only requiring three debit card purchases for any amount to trigger the bonus. Judging by the July 9th expiration date for this promotion, I'm hoping that future promotions will scrap the direct deposit requirement, or at least increase the bonuses to make it worth the effort. For instance, Wells Fargo currently has a $1,000 direct deposit requirement - along with a $25 initial deposit requirement - but awards new members $325 as a welcome bonus. No referral promotion for that one, unfortunately.
Speaking of great bank bonuses, be sure to check out my post, Featured Bank Bonuses and Tips on How to Trigger Them! 
My Third and FREE Hotel Stay, Thanks to Hopper!
https://sharing.hopper.com/refer/johnm8e4
Last week, I booked my third hotel stay, this time COMPLETELY FREE, all thanks to Hopper's signup and referral bonuses!
If you haven't signed up for Hopper, yet, I can't recommend it highly enough. You'll get an instant $25 signup bonus, and you only need to provide your name, phone number and email. Hopper also offers instant $25 referral bonuses for your first 20 referrals, which are issued as hotel credits toward your hotel stay.... After your first 20 referrals, you'll get an even higher $50 referral bonus for each signup who books their first hotel stay. And these $50 bonuses can be used for any form of travel the app offers (hotel stays, booking flights, rental cars, etc.)!
The really great thing about this Hopper promotion: these bonuses STACK, making your hotel stay close to free (if not free)! No other travel app does this. I've already saved nearly $2,000 in the few short months I've been referring it.
I also found out as I booked this last hotel that the credits can be combined with current promotions that Hopper may be running. In my case, Hopper was running a 10% off promotion, which discounted my price by $68.18 before applying my referral credits! This means that I have even more referral credits to use towards my next stay!
Insider tip: As with any 3rd-party hotel/travel app, after you book your hotel through Hopper, make sure to contact the hotel and confirm your reservation. And, it never hurts to ask if there are any room upgrades available, such as a larger room, room on a quieter floor, etc. The worst they can say is, "no," and oftentimes, they'll have free upgrades for a larger room than you booked if you request it. If it's your first time to the hotel you're booking, you can search for hotel reviews online where past guests frequently leave tips, such as "request a room on the east side of the hotel... it's much quieter."
Brandclub's Bringing Home the Bacon!
Have you signed up for Brandclub yet? If not, you're missing out on one of the easiest moneymaking opportunities to hit Referral World in recent years!
Brandclub is an app that rewards members for brand loyalty when they shop. And even though they've been around for over a year, now, they recently changed their bonuses amounts and shortened the payout window to next-day for most, and even same-day for some! Brandclub is now offering a $12 signup bonus and unlimited $12 referral bonuses, and the bonuses are incredibly easy to trigger and cash out.
Instructions:
Create and verify your account
Connect 1 or more of your active Amazon/Chewy/Target/Walmart/Kroger accounts(s)
Connect your PayPal or Venmo account to Brandclub
Cash out!
The entire signup process takes 5-10 minutes for most. I earned $180 in referral bonuses when I promoted Brandclub just a couple days this month, cashing out $160 minus fees.
Fine print: You can withdraw up to $40 of your earnings per day and they charge $1.50 per withdrawal request.
Stash's Rare "Extra $100 Bonus" Promotion Ends 6/22!

And, for the past few weeks, they've been giving out an additional $100 when you successfully refer to new users. Each new user just needs to sign up and deposit a penny or more.
If you haven't signed up for Stash, yet, this is a great opportunity to quickly earn $160 just by signing up ($20 signup bonus) and referring two people ($40 in referral bonuses plus the $100 extra bonus). Plus, you can keep referring Stash, earning $20 for each person you successfully refer until you've reached the $1,000 yearly cap.
