Get $20 for Signing Up With Stash

A while back, I wrote about getting a free stock for singing up with Robinhood (see the post here). But there's another simple investor app that will also give you stock for signing up and it is called Stash. Stash will give you $20 worth of stock or $20 to invest in other ways.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Click on this Stash Invest $20 Referral Bonus Link.
2. Sign up for your new Stash Invest account and complete registration.
3. Connect your bank account and fund at least $5 to your new Stash Invest account (either invest or bank account).
4. The $20 bonus will be credited to your new Stash Invest account within 3 business days.

Please note, the bonus funds cannot be withdrawn from your Stash Invest account for a period of 90 days from the date received. Stash also does have a monthly fee to have an account. The first month is waived but after that, there will be a fee. Because of this, I don't think keeping a Stash account is the best because there are other free apps that do exactly what they do. So, when signing up, choose the cheapest account and then after 3 months, close it and it still will have been profitable.

To close your Stash account, here's what you need to do:

1. Log into your account via the Stash website. 
2. In the upper-right corner you’ll see your name. Click on this link and you’ll get a new page with a vertical menu on the left-hand side.
3. About mid-way through the list of selections is a Subscription link. Click on this and you’ll get another page with details on your current subscription. 
4. In the Your plan menu there is a Manage link. Click on this link and scroll to the bottom of the new page. 
5. You’ll see a Close my Stash for good link. Click on this and you’ll be able to cancel your subscription.

Get $150 and Plant Some Trees

There's an easy way to get $150 and help the environment by just doing your normal spending. That's by opening up an Aspiration Spend account and making $1,000 of purchases with their debit card within the first 60 days of opening the account. I'd say for most people, it is really easy to do that with just their normal purchases.

The Aspiration Spend & Save Account is a cash management account offered by Aspiration Financial who is working towards building the world's most sustainable, ethical, & socially conscious financial firm. There are no monthly fees and enjoy fee-free withdrawals at over 55,000 Allpoint network ATMs. That’s over 3 times as many ATMs as those owned by Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo combined. And the really cool part? If you round up your purchases to the nearest whole dollar, they will plant a tree with the extra change. And know that your deposits won't fund fossil fuel projects like pipelines, oil drilling and coal mines.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up today! When you join Aspiration with this link, they’ll plant 25 trees, and when you spend $250, we’ll each get $50 Cash! Together, we can Do Well and Do Good! (The other $100 will come after making $1,000 in purchases within the first 60 days which may take up to 120 days to appear in your account)

Get a Free Stock

The stock market. Not something I really envisioned myself investing in. But with apps, it has gotten a lot easier for people to invest themselves with little money. You can put in just a little bit and make a small profit. But some of these apps, like Robinhood, also give you a free stock just for signing up. So even if you don't invest, that's free money right there.

Most likely you'll get a stock valued at $10 or less (still free money) but you do have a chance of getting one worth much more than that. And guess what?! . . . I did! My free stock was for Visa, which at the time I received it was worth over $200. I decided to keep it in to see if it would raise (it has since gone down) but that is still money that I can get at any time more than I had before.

So try it out yourself and see what you get!

Earn Money by Spotting Jobs

I have a new obsession.  I recently came across an app, called JobSpotter that gives you points, which can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards, for uploading job listings at location sites.  You get different values of points for different requirements and I thought this would be a simple thing to just do as I'm doing errands and notice signs but it's actually encouraged me to go for walks finding job listings, so it's even encouraged exercise.  Win win!!

Each point is worth one cent, which isn't much but when you consider its super simple and barely takes any time, it's definitely worth it.  I spent about a half hour walking around a downtown area and made about $5 worth of points.  Not bad.

Most places are worth between 5 and 10 points but you get bonuses for being the first to spot a place, more details about the position, or smaller "mom and pop" locations versus chains.

So what are you waiting for?  Download it today!

Make an Easy $100

I just signed up for a Wells Fargo Checking account.  Why?  Because they are offering a $100 bonus to do so.

I've done a few of these offers before (See Checking Account Bonus Awards).  I just follow the steps to get the bonus, then I empty the account and close it.  It does take specific steps to get the bonus, some more than others, but I've outlined what to do and look out for here!

Go to wellsfargo.com/100offer to sign up today for your account to get your bonus!  All you need is $25 to open it.

Important steps you must follow to get the bonus:

• Open with $25 ($50 if you open in person) before 2/22/16
• Make 10 debit card purchases or set up direct deposit for at least $500/monthly in the first 60 days

That's it!

I will just do the 10 debit card purchases.  I'll just go to the Dollar Store and grab a candy bar or something 10 different times.  So technically you'll only get $90 since you'll have to spend about $10 this way, but it's still free money.

****Watch out because there is a monthly $10 account fee unless you make 10 debit card purchases or have a balance of $1,500.  So get the 10 purchases done as soon as possible, and once the bonus has been deposited, close that account as soon as possible.  The bonus is supposed to be deposited within 45 days so it may go into another month with the account which means you'd have to make another 10 debit purchases.  This lowers the bonus to $80 in a sense but again, it's still easy free money.****

I'm going to sign my husband up too so if you have a significant other, you can double the money!

Hurry up, this offer ends in a few days!!!!!!  Enjoy your money!
