💰🌎📰 Referral World News - 12/17/23-12/23/23
Happy third full week of December! Here's what's happening this week in Referral World News (original post with screenshots at https://www.referralworldnews.com)

Testmarket's Motivations Revealed?
If you've seen any of my previous articles about Testmarket, you may know how they popped up in Referral World a month ago and appeared to be dealing in shady practices from the get-go. Things like:
Requiring an ID scan at signup
Paying for reviews under the guise of "signup bonuses" - a practice the FTC is making efforts to ban - and threatening to disable accounts leave anything less than 5-star, stellar reviews.
Offering seemingly impressive referral bonuses, such as $10 or even $150 when you refer 25, BUT simultaneously and repeatedly raising their minimum withdrawal requirement (currently $400 needed to cash out, aka 20000 coins).
A site that appears to offer/sell products, but all the products/discounts are sold out.
For these reasons and more, I personally don't trust Testmarket, but I have been unsure what their motivations might be... Stealing identities? Illegal data harvesting? Something else?
After receiving yet another "special referral promotion" email from them today, I revisited their site. Lo and behold, they now have Google Ads (and perhaps others) on their site. Sites qualify for Google AdSense, Amazon Ads, and similar when they show that their site has a lot of web traffic and activity.
In other words, while Testmarket is seemingly "bait and switching" in terms of offering signup and referral bonuses but making it impossible to earn enough to cash out, they are earning ad revenue at the same time.
Need Help Wrapping up your Holiday Shopping?
Can you believe Christmas is less than a week away? If you've still got shopping to do, here are some bonuses and resources that can help you out:
Checkmate (iPhone/iPad only)
https://chckmt.app/6i3vgj$5 instant referral bonuses plus another $50 instant bonus when you refer 10! Although this one doesn't have a signup bonus, it's been one of the easiest and best apps to refer. When they ran this same promo for just 10 days last month, I earned $135!
Simply sign up and download the app, verify your phone number, and activate Checkmate's Safari extension. Then refer to others!
Modak
https://referralworldnews.com/modak$5 Instant signup bonus + $10 additional bonus opportunity! $5 referral bonuses as well!
Monzo
https://join.monzo.com/c/9blxwqgInstant $20 signup bonus when you spend $10 anywhere Apple Pay or Google Pay is accepted within 14 days (grocery stores, Shein, Square, etc.). Instant $20 referral bonuses, as well!
Steps:
Sign up and complete their quick KYC (ID and selfie required).
Fund $10 to your account and connect your Monzo card to either Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Acorns' "Refer 3, Get $444" Promotion!
https://share.acorns.com/mpho2002
Acorns just started a great new promotion: $5 signup bonus when you sign up for Acorns and invest $5 by 12/23. $5 referral bonuses as well, and if you refer five people by 12/23 who complete these same steps, you'll earn another $444 ($464 in total)!
Note that Acorns charges a monthly $3 fee after your first 30 days. You can cancel Acorns as soon as you withdraw your bonuses, though I recommend keeping it as they frequently offer generous referral bonuses.
Important note: Ensure you complete all the steps when you sign up. I can't tell you how many people have signed up but haven't invested the $5 to trigger the signup and referral bonuses. I'm not sure why because it's a straightforward, simple process.
Webull's $100/$200 Referral Bonus Promo Ends 12/18!
https://a.webull.com/Tfjl7iH11jCmzIlcYt
If you are referring Webull, this is a quick reminder that their current promotion - which gets you a guaranteed $100 or $200 for each referral - ends tomorrow at 11:59 PM EST. You can refer up to 10 people for this promotion.
If you haven't signed up for Webull, they offer sizeable signup and referral bonus promotions. In this current promo, you'll get six fractional shares when you sign up and deposit a penny by 12/18 at 11:50 PM EST ($18+ guaranteed value) and up to ten $100/$200 guaranteed value in Apple shares when you refer.
To earn the signup bonus, you must be new to Webull and have a valid US ID.
Last Day of REVU's Triple Signup Bonuses Promo and Contest!
https://www.swagbucks.com/profile/PMNSD
I reported on this yesterday, but I wanted to remind everyone that today's the last day to get in on Swagbucks and REVU's Triple Bonuses and $15K contest. The last time I participated in one of these, I earned hundreds in signup bonuses AND $150 from the contest. I highly recommend jumping on this opportunity!
To participate, sign up for Swagbucks - or log in if you're already a member - and head over to the DISCOVER page, click on the REVU featured offer. More info here (https://www.referralworldnews.com/sbrevu).
Wishew's Wish and Waitlist
https://app.wishew.com/welcome?referral_id=jj-3242
Quick update on Wishew: This waitlist is still quite viral in Referral World. It's a site that is promoting its March 2024 launch date and offering $10-$15 referral bonuses when you sign up and refer. Being a waitlist app, it's not guaranteed they'll honor the bonuses (similar waitlist apps have been hit or miss). But considering that they only ask for your first name, email, and phone, it may be something worth getting in on for these early-bird bonuses should they pay out once they launch.
