      <title>I got tired of dead invite codes, so I started checking them every week</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ok so here's the thing that got me started. I wanted a Muse invite code, found like six posts, tried four codes, and every one was full. By the time I found a working one I'd almost burned my 48 hour window.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I started keeping a little list for myself and checking it weekly. A few things I learned along the way:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Muse (1 billion tokens each)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The 48 hours starts when you make the account, not when you find a code. Have the code ready first.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Web: Settings &amp;gt; General &amp;gt; Usage &amp;gt; Redeem invite code. App: Settings &amp;gt; Redeem token.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Codes have a use cap, so a code pasted in a comment thread is usually dead within hours.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Claude (free week of Pro)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It's a guest pass link from an existing Pro user, not a code you type. You add a card and it rolls into paid Pro after the week unless you cancel.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;River (bitcoin, up to $100)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It's up to $100, and the exact amount is in River's referral terms, so read those before you deposit.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kraken&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The bonus amount changes with whatever promo Kraken is running, and it shows in the app after you sign up. Don't trust any page that promises a fixed number.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The general rule I keep coming back to: check the official terms page, check the date someone last confirmed the code, and redeem right away.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I keep the full list (with the date each one was last checked) here: &lt;a href="https://bestreferrallinks.com/updates" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://bestreferrallinks.com/updates&lt;/a&gt;. Some of the links there are my own referral links, so heads up on that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If a code on there is broken, tell me in the comments and I'll fix it.&lt;/p&gt;
