How we make money
Last updated November 9, 2026
The short version
Some links on The Broke List are referral or affiliate links. When you sign up through one, the app may pay us a bonus too. You still get the same new-user bonus, and it never costs you anything extra.
Does that change what's on the list?
The list is sorted by how much money you need to start, lowest first. It isn't sorted by what pays us. Some apps on the list don't pay us anything; we include them because they're worth it.
Keeping it accurate
Every card shows the requirements we found in the app's own terms or a recent, reputable source, and the date we last checked. Apps change their bonuses often, so always read the terms in the app before you sign up. If something's wrong, email hello@drivecheaper.org and we'll fix it.
Gambling offers
Gambling offers (sweepstakes, prediction markets, fantasy, sportsbooks and casinos) are for people 21+ (or the legal age where you live) and only work in some states. Their bonuses are usually bonus bets or site credit, not cash, and the money you deposit is at risk. If gambling stops being fun, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER.
Who runs this
The Broke List is an independent site based in Knoxville, Tennessee. DriveCheaper.org is a sister site run by the same owner. Nothing here is financial, legal or tax advice. Bonuses can count as taxable income.
