A referred friend may now pay for a Core or Plus annual plan, where Plus did not count before, but the friend's 50% is still on the Core annual plan only. The $480 yearly reward cap now covers a whole household, not each referrer, and payouts can be cash. Quebec residents are now excluded.

The bonus is for applying through that page, and existing or previous cardmembers who got a new cardmember bonus for this card in the past 48 months may not be eligible. The $200 is a statement credit, so it is not matched. The variable APR after the 15-month 0% period is now 18.74% to 28.74%, up from 17.74% to 26.74%.

The only referral program its help center now publishes is a pilot posted October 21, 2026, open only to users in Ghana and Nigeria. That pilot gives a new user only an entry into a prize draw. The 0.25% of eligible spot trading for 90 days goes to the account that shared the link, not to the new user. There is still no US program and no $70 ZETA bonus to claim.

Was: A member's referral link added a $5 reward to the 30-day trial for sign-ups until September 30, 2026. Now: "Eligibility for $5 reward ends September 30, 2026."

We read the old wording on September 18 and caught the fix on September 24, 2026. Was: The disclosures listed one way to receive the reward: open online via the application links on the offer page, while the steps at the top of the page also offered a coupon for a branch. Now: The disclosures say open online via the application links on the page or in a physical PNC location with the coupon code. The reward amounts, deposit bars, 60-day window and January 7, 2027 end date are unchanged.Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/marcushttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#marcus-2026-09-24Marcus raised the standard Online Savings rate that the referral boost sits on from 3.40% to 3.50% APY, and its page now dates that rate to September 24, 2026 instead of July 24. We caught it on September 24; the boost itself is still one point for three months, so it is still worth about $25 per $10,000. Was: 3.40% APY standard rate, dated July 24, 2026, so 4.40% APY with the referral boost attached. Now: 3.50% APY standard rate, dated September 24, 2026, so 4.50% APY with the referral boost attached. The boost is still +1.00% for three months, worth about $25 per $10,000.Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/moomoohttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#moomoo-2026-09-24Moomoo moved the two halves of its 8.1% APY cash rate: the Cash Sweep base rate went from 3.35% to 3.6% and the manually activated booster from 4.75% to 4.5%, so the headline still adds up to 8.1%. We caught it on September 24, 2026. Was: 3.35% base rate plus a 4.75% booster, 8.1% APY combined. Now: 3.6% base rate plus a 4.5% booster, still 8.1% APY combined. The booster runs two months on the first $20,000 once switched on by hand in the app.Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/etradehttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#etrade-2026-09-24E*TRADE raised the promotional APY on the Premium Savings Account offer that sits on its brokerage promo page from 4.00% to 4.25% for 6 months. We read 4.00% on September 18 and caught the new rate on September 24, 2026. Was: Up to $800 plus 4.00% APY for 6 months on a new Premium Savings Account, code SAVE800, open by January 10, 2027. Now: Up to $800 plus 4.25% APY for 6 months on the same account, same code, same end date. The brokerage offer's own tiers, OFFER26 code and October 31, 2026 end date are unchanged.Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/etradehttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#etrade-2026-09-24-codeE*TRADE fixed a contradiction on its brokerage promo page: the savings offer card's label said SAVING26 while the sentence under it said SAVE800. We documented the mismatch on September 18 and found both saying SAVE800 on September 24, 2026. Was: The label above the savings offer card read Promo code: SAVING26 while the sentence beneath it said to use SAVE800. Now: The label reads Promo code: SAVE800 and the sentence beneath it also says code SAVE800, so one code is printed for the savings offer.Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/factorhttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#factor-2026-09-24Factor dropped the Factor Plus membership section from its Terms of Use and added a Factor Cash section that says referral awards are issued as non-transferable account credit which can expire and is withdrawn on cancellation. We read the Terms without that section on September 18 and caught the new one on September 24, 2026. Was: The Terms of Use carried a Factor Plus membership section and said nothing about how a referral award is delivered. The page said only that the reward sits behind a login and its terms were unread. Now: The Terms of Use carry a Factor Cash section instead: referral awards are issued as Factor Cash, credit that can only be used on your own account, cannot be transferred or redeemed for cash, can expire, and can be withdrawn when you cancel. The amount is still not printed.Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/topcashbackhttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#topcashback-2026-09-24TopCashback's public Tell-a-Friend page now tells the person sharing a link that they receive $40 once the friend earns a first $10 of cash back, up from the $10 it stated on September 14. We caught it on September 24; the page still does not say what the new member gets. Was: $10 to the referrer once the friend earns $10 of cash back, as read on September 14, 2026. Now: $40 to the referrer once the friend earns their first $10 of cash back. TopCashback still does not publish what the new member gets.Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/onepayhttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#onepay-2026-10-01From October 1, 2026 a $5,000 balance no longer earns the OnePay referral bonus. Only direct deposits will. Was: The referred customer qualifies with $500 or more of direct deposits a month or by meeting the $5,000 savings balance requirement, within 45 days. Now: For referrals made on or after October 1, 2026 the referred customer must receive $500 or more in qualifying direct deposits per month within 45 days.Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/webullhttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#webull-2026-09-17Webull extended its 10-share deposit offer to January 6, 2027 and bundled a Premium trial that bills once its 30 days end.

Was: NordVPN does not offer a free trial for purchases made on its website. Now: A free 7-day trial for new users on 1-year and 2-year plans in 15 countries, by credit card or PayPal; the plan begins automatically when the trial ends.Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/hopperhttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#hopper-2026-09-10Hopper rewrote its Carrot Cash article: you can now hold a balance back for a later booking.

Was: Referral page, July 26, 2026: referred customers get 20% off all plans. Now: Help article updated August 14, 2026: 20% off their first paid plan; the referrer earns 20% of the first-year cost, up to $500.Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/upsidehttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#upside-2026-08-14Upside's fee list no longer mentions PayPal.

Now: Withdrawal thresholds Lolli may set and change at will; all unwithdrawn rewards forfeited, without notice, after twelve months without earning a reward.Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/acornshttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#acorns-2026-09-18Acorns' two cheaper plans cost more than when we last read its pricing page, which makes the $5 referral worth even less against the bill. Was: Bronze $3 a month, Silver $6, Gold $12, read August 15, 2026. Now: Bronze $4 a month, Silver $8, Gold $12, read September 18, 2026. The $5 referral and its conditions are unchanged.Fri, 18 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://fineprintdoctor.com/lednhttps://fineprintdoctor.com/terms-that-changed#ledn-2026-09-18Ledn moved its Casa referral terms to a new address and no longer links any referral terms from its legal menu.

Was: Invitees must complete the specified tasks within 14 days of sign-up. Deposits by internal transfer, red packet, rewards or P2P sharing order will not be counted. Now: Invitees must complete the specified tasks via eligible channels within the required period; channels, calculation methods and completion criteria are those displayed on the referral page. Only trading tasks keep a printed window, within 14 days of sign-up.Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT
