Good Deals

Dosh is a card linked app that allows you to earn cash back automatically at many different merchants. The great thing about it being card linked is that it allows you to stack the Dosh cash back with portal cash back. For some merchants the purchase can be made in store or online. Once you link your card you will automatically earn cash back when you use your linked card at a participating merchant. I’ve linked my Chase Ink card to earn 2% cash back from Dosh when I shop at Office Depot in addition to the 5% I get back from Chase plus whatever cash back I can get from a shopping portal if I’m making an online purchase.

Once you earn a $25 minimum Dosh Wallet balance in your account, you can transfer your funds to your PayPal, bank accounts, or donate it to charity. I’ve already cashed out once from Dosh and it was an easy and quick process.

Download the Dosh app and add at least 1 credit or debit card to earn a signup bonus when using my referral code or referral link. My referral code is DAVIDH541. Enter that as the promo code when signing up. Or use this referral link and the code should automatically be applied.

Let me know if you have any questions about the Dosh app.

Rakuten $40 referral bonus link

The Rakuten shopping portal (you might know it by its former name of Ebates) is offering a $40 referral bonus. If you sign up as a new member to Rakuten and spend $40 you will receive a $40 bonus and I’ll get a $40 bonus too. It is a win-win.

This is the best referral bonus I’ve seen them offer. Usually the best bonus offer is $30. Thanks to whomever used my referral link back in September. This blog doesn’t make much ad income any more so little bonuses like these are helpful.

Rakuten is a decent cash back shopping portal. Their rates usually aren’t the highest but they have occasional special deals where they offer the best rates. Over the years I have received over $500 cash back from them. It has definitely been worth my time signing up and using their portal.

Sign up using this Rakuten $40 referral bonus link to get your $40 bonus after you qualify.

The shopping portal Rakuten, formerly known as eBates, currently has a promotion offering a $30 refer a friend bonus. New members sign up through my referral link will receive a $30 bonus and I’ll get a $30 bonus too. To qualify for the $30 sign up bonus the new member needs to spend $30 through Rakuten. The promotional period is from August 12, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (“Offer Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Referral Program Terms, this offer is valid only if the referral signs up and completes their qualifying purchase within 90 days.

I’ve had pretty good luck with Rakuten properly tracking my shopping purchases. If you look at the little image at the beginning of this post you can see they’ve paid me over $400 in cash back. Rakuten usually doesn’t have the highest cash back rates, but several times a year they run promotions making them the highest-paying portal for some merchants. This is quite a bit higher than their usual sign up bonus and should be easy money for most people who haven’t previously signed up for Rakuten. Here again is my Rakuten referral link.

When you open a new SoFi Invest account with at least $5000 through my referral link they will give you a $100 Stock Bit for free as a bonus. Stocks Bits are what SoFi calls fractional shares. You can use the account to invest in full shares of stock as well if you want.

I signed up for the Invest account a couple of months ago and my bonus was paid just a few days after meeting the requirements. I didn’t really need another investment account, but since the referral bonus provided a great return on my investment and there were no fees I decided it was worth the minimal effort to open another account. It should only take you a few minutes to open the account. Sign up using this referral link and you will get a $100 Stock Bit bonus when you meet the promotional requirements and I’ll get $100 for referring you. That’s a great deal for both of us.

They also have a $75 bonus for opening a SoFi Money account and making two direct deposits of at least $500 each. Once you have one SoFi account open it is easy to open another one. You can open both a SoFi Money and SoFi Invest account and receive both bonuses. I’ve already done that. The SoFi Money account is worth keeping open after you have received the bonus since they pay a competitive interest rate, have no account fees, and provide ATM fee reimbursements up to a monthly limit. If you open a SoFi Money account through my referral link and meet the terms of the promotion you will get a $75 bonus and I’ll get a $25 bonus for referring you. Do both bonuses and you could make $175 of easy money.
