New $50 ShareBuilder Bonus
January 19, 2008
Since ING Direct (Account Bonus) acquired ShareBuilder, I thought you would see the usual $50 new account bonus go away, or at least get smaller. Well that is not the case, they just started a new $50 bonus for new accounts. You do need to invest at least $50. The $50 bonus will be paid out roughly 4 weeks after you have invested $50. Offer expires 3/31/08.
With the market in the crapper, there isn’t a better time to start investing. Get in low and watch it ride high!!
Another Free $50 From Sharebuilder
December 28, 2007
Sharebuilder has brought back its $50 new account promo.
Very simple to get: Open a new ShareBuilder Individual, Joint or Custodial Account by 1/15/2008, and we’ll contribute $50 to your investment after you place your first trade.
I currently use sharebuilder for my ETF funds. They are purchased every week and I just let it go If you haven’t used sharebuilder, they are great in the fact that you can buy partial shares automatically over time. This is a great way to dollar cost average especially considering the volatility in the market recently. They will automatically take the money out of your account and invest in on a regular basis, it pretty much makes investing easy to do.
Sharebuilder $50 Promo Signup Link
I don’t recommend a sharebuilder account if you are going to be an active seller, take a look at Tradeking (see post) ot OptionsXpress (see post) as they have lower commissions. I consider Sharebuilder a buy and hold account.
TradeKing $100 New Account Bonus is Back!
December 27, 2007
EDIT: This bonus is no longer available. Their current November 2008 promo is offering a $50 bonus when signing up for a new account. See details HERE.
Looks like TradeKing is again offering a $100 bonus when opening new accounts.
Here is the skinny:
- New accounts must be opened and funded with $2,500
- A minimum balance of $1,000 is required in the account for the first six months
- Must Make 1 Trade in your account
- Bonus paid up to 180 days after executed trade
If this is like the last TradeKing Promo, you will see the $100 bonus paid in less than a week after your first trade, rather then the “up to 180 days” There is no expiration date on this so I imagine it could disappear at any time. So jump on this one before it is gone!
Happy Trading and collecting that free money!
Free $100 from optionsXpress With New Account
December 15, 2007
optionsXpress, an online stock and options brokerage, is offering a free $100 when opening a new account. You must deposit a minimum of $500 by 12/31 when the promo expires. You will receive the $100 bonus in your account on or before January 10, 2008.
I have never used these guys so I can’t comment on service. And although they don’t have the lowest commisions of places like Tradeking.com or Firstrade.com, earning 20% on that $500 in a few weeks isn’t too shabby!!
