The $100 Refer-A-Friend promo for TradeKing.com has been unusually popular this time around. If you get a referral from an existing account holder, open a new account with at least $1,000, and make a trade, both people will get $100. I’ve already gotten paid $500 for 5 referrals since the beginning of March, and the referred have gotten paid too, so TK is both opening accounts quickly and crediting the money faster than in previous promos.
Visit this post for details. Offer expires March 31st, 2011, but you have 30 days from initial application to fund. (And yes, according to TK Live Chat you can double-dip this with the $150 broker transfer fee refund.)
Update 3/31: Extended to April 14th!
This was a timely reminder. 🙂
Thanks for the re-post, I missed the first one! I sent for a referral. 🙂
merrill edge is offering $0 if u keep a balance of $25K
Yes, but with Merrill Edge that $25k has to stay in cash earning non-competitive interest. Edge’s cash sweep account only pays 0.05% unless balance over $250k. Losing 1% in interest on $25k is $250 a year.
Go with Wellstrade instead if you have $25k and are willing to keep a PMA checking account active.
Hi Jonathan, this just got extended for two more weeks!!!!
