If you have looked at my recent blog posts, you will see that I have started to look into a few different offers where you can earn free money. I decided to pull together some offers that would be useful, thinking back to my college days where basically anything free was good.
Other Money Apps
$10 Free from Strike - Hey! Join Strike and earn $10 when you sign up and verify your account using my referral code: BQANP2
Saving/Bank Accounts
$25 from SoFi Money - You can save, spend, and earn interest—all in one account. Use my link to sign up and you’ll get a $25 bonus.
Simple - Sep 25 2019 Update: Referral program no longer valid but still a solid company.
Investing Money
SoFi Invest - Sign up and fund an Active Investing account with $100 or more, you'll get $25 in stock.
Robinhood - If you are interested in buying and selling stocks, you can use this app which offers stock purchases without a fee and you can get a FREE stock valued up to around $200. Read more at my post or just go to my referral link. You can also earn up to $500 in stocks by referring others.
Stockpile - Another good option for stocks, this one is very good if you plan to gift the stock as a gift. Read up more on here on my blog ( http://bigboystoys13.blogspot.com/2017/09/stockpile-review-and-free-5-stock.html ) for more info and a $5 free of stock.
This page ( http://bigboystoys13.blogspot.com/2017/10/investing-in-stocks-get-some-free.html ) has some information comparing Robinhood and Stockpile, and has a link to some useful resources to start reading.
Most of these apps require a bank account / debit card, and I was surprised to find out many people don't have that. I wrote up some alternatives to banks, check it out here and also did a comparison between Qapital, Chime and Simple ( http://bigboystoys13.blogspot.com/2017/10/online-bank-prepaid-card-alternatives.html ). I haven't had a chance to update those pages, but SoFi Money (mentioned below) is another good option for a bank account / debit card.
