Sharebuilder Sign up bonus $50

Until December 31, 2009 you can use the code TRADEBONUS to get $50 for opening a new Sharebuilder account.  I did this for each of my family a few months ago and it was great.  I opened 4 accounts and the cash out of pocket was $5 each = $20 total.  After the bonus cash was credited we had recieved $200 which was a profit of $180.   Plus we each still had a $1 worth of stock.  My son has kept his money in the stock and he is enjoying playing the stock market with his free money, the rest of us transfered the money into our checking accounts and spent it on items that we needed or wanted.

This would be a great gift for your children this Christmas.   Let me explain how to do this transaction. 

• Click on the banner above to go to Sharebuilders website.
• Once on the website, click on the top left corner on the logo just like the one on this post, this will take you to the SHAREBUILDER Link.  Click on Learn more with the Sharebuilder and then Continue.
• Select Individual Account or Custodial Account
• Enter the promo code TRADEBONUS or 50BUCKS where it says promo code.  If it has a code already there, just delete it and put in TRADEBONUS 50BUCKS
• Click NEXT
• Select No for not having an account already.  If you do have an account already, you can only open up a custodial account for your child. At that point enter in your log in info.
• click NEXT
• Check the “I Agree” box after you have read the conditions
• Click Create an Account
• Congratulations page will appear with teh promotional code listed on it. TRADEBONUS stating that the $50 will be added in 4 weeks after your first trade.
• Click “Select a Pricing Program”
• Choose Basic Program because it has no monthly subscription and you can trade a one time with a fee of $4 for a $1 trade.
• Click NEXT
• Completion page will appear, saying your account is set up.
• Click on “Build my plan over time with Automatic Investment plan”
• Click on “Create your own automatic investment plan”
• There is a tab at the top of the page called “Reseach”  Click that tab, then click “Stocks”   On this page you can search stocks that are $1.
• Find the stock you want to buy for $1 and copy the stock symbol.
• Enter the symbol and also enter the amount of $5. ($4 for trade and $1 for the stock.)

• Click “One Time”
• Choose the day you want the investment to come out of your account for the amount of $5.
• Click “NEXT”
• This page is where you choose how to pay the $5 to Sharebuilder.  Choose Automatic Funds, via electronic Funds transfer.  This is a free service and secure. Enter your bank info here.
• Click “NEXT”
• Summary page will appear.  Look over everything.  You should make sure you are investing $5 (unless you are wanting to invest more) and also that the frequency is set at ONE TIME.
• Click Create Plan
• When you get your confirmation page, I would save it to a file on your computer for future reference. Atleast print this page for your records.

I love Sharebuilder. I have talked to the customer service several times and they have always been great about answering my questions.  Pick your stock, have fun with it and make a little extra money while doing it.

I also like the two product from ING called the Orange account and the Orange savings account.  They are interest bearing accounts, easy to work with and deposit into and you have 24 /7 access to the accounts.  I think at this time, there is also a $25 sign up bonus when opening these accounts but I have not done one recently to verify that.  The code would automatically show up in the promotion line if they do.  With the Orange Electric Checking account, you will get a debit card just like a brick and mortor bank. 
 

thanks A lot of savings for this code!!!
