Author Topic: $175 Sharebuilder sign-up bonus (Read 4550 times)

Drago · « **on:** December 29, 2011, 04:56:17 PM »

Hi all,

It looks that there are 2 diff Sharebuilder bonus's that are meant to be combined.
1) $75 for funding an account with $100. Code is EXTRA75
2) After you have an account, you can receive $100 for transferring in $500 from a different brokerage account. Code is TRADEUP100

If a/o knows of a way to also receive the sign up bonus's for airlines (around 2k each) in addition to this, I would love to know. (Besides for signing up for multiple accounts.) It's supposed to be possible, but I can't figure out how.

It get even better than that.

There are two more codes that people have had success in using. Both need a deposit of just 25$ into your SB account:

"Start50" will get you another $50
"Invest122111" may get you another $25 Just go to Accounts > Overview > Profile and Settings>enter promotion

Thats a total of 100+75+50+25 =$250 in free money. Good luck!!!

Use both, worse comes to worse, you just transfer the money back into your main account.

I currently have a sharebuilder acct.
Do u think these codes will work if I open an additional acct?

The codes are limited per user. so if you have 2 accounts, you can only use the codes once.

I guess I wasn't clear.
I meant to ask if these codes will work even though I'm not a first time customer.

Warning, possible credit pull!

mordy44 · « **Reply #6 on:** December 31, 2011, 11:28:33 PM »

I'm not sure. I'm not a first time customer (opened my account months ago), but i typed in the codes and they seem to work. It takes 4-6 weeks for the money to post so I have to wait it out to see.

Can't possibly hurt to try.

mordy44 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 31, 2011, 11:35:58 PM »

Is there a conclusion as to what type of credit pull there is?

Also, some of the codes may work for accounts already opened. All you need to do is transfer money.

Hmm, at $250 a pop w/ mimimal effort, this may be worth going all in on with multiple accounts.

W/ regards to the credit pull, I'm enrolled in Citi's monitoring program (at least till the end of the first month) and after enrolling Thursday, I still haven't received any email notifications from them, which could be b/c of the weekend, or b/c there is nothing.

According to FWF it is not a hard pull. Might want to search “sharebuilder” over there. A lot of good info.

Any info if there's an expiration date on these offer's? I know the $75 offer to open an account expired although there's now one for $50.

mordy44 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 01, 2012, 11:32:18 PM »

I think the $50 offer is for opening a savings account. The $75 offer expired last night.

No ones sure on the expiration date for the invest122111 and start50 promos. Over the next couple of business days, we'll find out if it truly works. (confirmation emails etc).

Like i said, if you have an account already, it can't hurt to try.

I did this last year where I opened multiple accounts for me and my wife, i used several variations of account types (joint, custodial etc) and got $50-$76 per account. After awhile they banned me from opening another account. In total I netted over $500, for minimal work

mordy44 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 02, 2012, 07:39:32 PM »

wow. Impressive.

Instead of the "start75" bonus for the additional 75 when you make the initial deposit of 100 (expired 12/31), Sharebuilder has a different one; "50WS10", should get you $50.

Drago · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2012, 01:08:21 PM »

Hmm, they told me the 2 codes equaling 75 aren't valid for my account (even though the website accepted it after I ended them). I'll follow up, but don't hold high hopes.

Can you use all three? or are some of them expired?

Do you have to make a trade to recieve bonus?

They wouldn't give me the add on bonus. So I received the 75, and never got around to transferring in money to receive the 100.

Drago · « **Reply #19 on:** July 12, 2012, 10:18:37 AM »

Received a 250 offer for 50k deposit.
Anyone think that churning works (ala Fidelity)?
