Ally Bank [US] - https://www.referralworldnews.com/ally - Ally Bank is an online bank that was popular a few years back but hadn't offered any referral promotions for well over a year. They recently returned with a new $100 signup and $50 referral bonus promotion. I signed up on 3/5, made a qualifying $25 external transfer from my Current account to Ally on 3/6, and as of 3/27, already maxed out my bonuses for this year ($100 deposit bonus and $250 in referral bonuses)!
You can find more info on this promotion and instructions on how to easily trigger the bonus here. What's great about this one is that few in Referral World have or are promoting it, so there's plenty of opportunity to max out the $250 yearly cap in referral bonuses!
Amazon Prime/Visa [Worldwide] - https://www.amazon.com/dp/BT00LN946S?externalReferenceId=2050d344-dce9-45ef-94b0-f13ba25c6eed - I've had my Amazon Prime Visa for several years, but only recently realized they have a referral program. I haven't actively been referring this $100 signup and $50 bonus promotion, though it has been available in my main list (over 100 apps) along with my Featured Instant and Featured Credit Cards lists. I earned a $50 referral bonus this month. More info on this promotion here.
Ask Mom [US, CAN] - link - This new survey and GPT app/site hit Referral World at the end of February, and since signing up on 2/28 and referring, I have already been paid $165.80 so far from referral bonuses and completing surveys.
If you haven't signed up yet, you'll get $5 when you sign up, verify your phone and email, and complete your first 5-minute survey. Complete surveys to reach the $10 minimum withdrawal requirement. You'll also earn up to $100 as you refer others. More info here. And stay tuned for exciting news relating to this company (hint: "New New New!"). I'll be publishing a featured post and adding it to Referral World News in the next few days.
Aven Advisor - http://aven.com/advisor - code JOHN85527 - I earned $74 so far this month. No deposit is required for this one. $5 signup bonus and spin the wheel for each referral, getting you a $1-$100 referral bonus each time (up to 20 referrals per month). The bonuses hit your Aven account instantly, and once withdrawn, post to your bank within 1-3 business days. More info here.
Bigcash (aka Bigcashweb) - https://bigcashweb.com/refer/skzlocn0 - I signed up for Bigcash on 2/17 and was paid $201.75 in signup and referral bonuses in February. So far this month, I've been paid another $296! This app is instant and is running increased promos, including $15 referral bonuses plus 50% lifetime earnings from everybody you refer through 3/31. And you'll get an instant $1-$100 signup bonus when you use my exclusive promo code JJBONUS. More info here.
Chase Bank - https://accounts.chase.com/raf/share/2600356036 - I earned $100 so far this month in referral bonuses. I highly recommend Chase because their $300 signup bonus can be triggered with any direct deposit, for instance, by making a single delivery with DoorDash/GrubHub/Instacart Uber Eats and similar gig apps. And even better news for some: you also get $50 referral bonuses with no deposit required (up to $500 bonuses per year). Just sign up, open a checking account, and refer! More info here.
Chime [US] - https://tinyurl.com/chimesignupbonus - Thanks to a promotion they are running through 4/2, I earned $110 thanks to a referral bonus and an extra reward. And I'm hoping a few people who signed up through me during Chime's rare and brief $200 promotion will trigger the bonus before the 60 limit expires. For more info on Chime's $100 signup and $100 plus up to an extra $10-$10K for each referral promo, see my featured post here. More info here.
Flash [US, India] - https://app.flash.tech/app/r5cWLwJEfQwvkZEk9 - I earned 25,000 points in referral bonuses so far this month, equalling $100 at their current redemption rate. Flash only requires connecting a phone number and email with 20+ purchase history transactions. Cash out instantly to various gift cards ranging from $5-$100. You can refer up to 200 people. More info here.
Fundrise [US] - https://fundrise.com/r/5k8m1z - Thanks to a special $50 signup and $50 referral bonuses I have (most have $25), I have received $320 so far in bonuses since I started referring it on 3/16.
If you haven't signed up, yet, you can earn a $50 signup bonus when you use my link. And you'll get your own $25 referral link - a $50 link like mine if you deposit $1K or more - to earn up to $900 per rolling year. More info here.
Grifin [US] - https://www.referralworldnews.com/grifin - code FNJPA8 - I received another $235 this month. Bonuses usually are $5 but they ran an increased $20 earlier this month. They're actually running an even better promo right now - through 3/31 - offering a $25 signup and $25 referral bonuses! They typically run increased promos 1x-2x per month, and this is the highest signup bonus I've seen from them to date. Since signing up last February, I've earned over $3.2K in bonuses from Grifin! More info here.
Hopper [Worldwide] - https://sharing.hopper.com/refer/johnm8e4 - code johnm8e4 - I am super excited about this one and how well it's done for me this month. As you may know, my mom passed away in January after a 5-month long critical health battle. I've received $875 from Hopper this month ($150 in referral bonuses and $725 in hotel voucher credits)! Back in January 2024, I earned a $450 hotel voucher, which I didn't use in time before it expired in January and disappeared from my account entirely. I reached out to support but was unable to recoup the voucher. Fast forward to the current $50/$150/$300 voucher promotion Hopper is running this month... When I triggered this voucher bonus, the voucher also restored my expired voucher and extended the expiration date until next March! This came at the perfect time since I'm making travel arrangements for my mom's Celebration of Life this summer.
To date, I've earned over $4K in bonuses from Hopper and only paid $598.85 for four 4-star and 5-star hotel stays AND a round-trip flight to Palm Springs. This is all thanks to stacking Hopper's signup and referral bonuses!
If you haven't signed up for Hopper yet, I highly recommend you do so ASAP, especially if you plan on staying at a hotel or traveling anytime soon (Spring is here, and Summer is right around the corner). See my featured Hopper post for how to score a $25 signup bonus, $25-$50 STACKABLE referral bonuses, proof of my nearly free and utterly free hotel stays, and 75% off round-trip airfare.
MoneyLion [US] - https://mlion.us/$55BONUS - code $55BONUS - My #1 earner month after month! I've earned $1,070 so far this month from $5-$10 referral bonuses and $50 referral deposit bonuses. MoneyLion's currently running a "Referral Rush" promo right now that gets you quick $10-$60 signup and referral bonuses through 3/31. No deposit is required for the $10 (just open a free checking account. A $100+ deposit is required for the $50 deposit bonus, which can be triggered by direct deposit or by initiating a transfer from within your Current or Found apps. Add to this that for over a month, MoneyLion bonuses have been paid out nightly (as opposed to the previous 1-3 business days)! More info here. 
ShopBack [US, AU, DE, HK, IDN, KOR, MY, NZ, PH, SG, TW, TH, VN] - https://app.shopback.com/BoGWNctaVRb - code wBUA8m - I signed up on 2/10 for this new cashback app/site and from then until now, I've racked up over $5K in potential bonuses. Of these bonuses, $475.19 has been confirmed, and I've already made withdrawal requests to my PayPal account, which I'll receive over the next week.
If you've ever read my Featured Cashback Apps post, you'll know I'm a huge advocate of cashback sites and apps because they earn you money back for purchases you'd already make. The current bonus from ShopBack is icing on the cake with its $20 signup bonus and unlimited $30 referral bonuses through 3/31. And through 3/28, you'll also find several boosted offers for up to 20% cashback to trigger the signup bonus quickly. More info on this promotion, instructions, and recommendations for triggering the bonuses here. 
Stash - https://get.stash.com/brett_19xm496 - Thanks to Stash's 50% increased promotion (still running), I earned $330 so far this month in referral bonuses. If you haven't signed up yet, you can earn a $20 $30 when you join and add as little as one penny to your personal investment or bank account from any source. $30 referral bonuses, as well.
