Heads up, deal hunters! Public, the brokerage app, is back with a referral bonus offering $100 in stock or ETF credit for both you and a friend. All you have to do is refer someone who signs up and deposits at least $1,000.
This is a pretty sweet and easy win if you've been thinking about dabbling in investing or know someone who is. Basically, free money! Just remember the fine print: the $100 reward needs to stay put in your account for a year.
Important note: While it's tempting to blast your referral link everywhere, Public's terms say you should only refer people you actually know. So, keep it personal to avoid any potential issues!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
