Do we have to account for stock price fluctuations? My stock (old employer) have gone up this year and considerably in the last 3 months … do I have to consider a buffer in addition?

Yes. If the asset price changes significantly during transfer, you may end up in a lower tier once the assets arrive. It’s the same for all these brokerage bonuses.

Some brokerages allow you to make multiple transfers, so if your first transfer falls below a threshold you can make a second one to get you over the line. Other brokerages only allow you to fund a single time.

I had a DP a couple months ago from speaking with a support agent who said I could make an additional transfer and contact them to manually credit the bonus (but don’t abuse it and fund long after account opening)

I emailed them and cash, stock, ETFs and treasury bills all count, however, Money Market Funds, Mutual bonds, Muni bonds and Corporate bonds do not.

Hi all,

Looking to open this account in December for tax purposes.

  1. To those that have opened an account via ACAT how long has it taken for funds to arrive?
  2. How long has it taken for the bonus to be credited?

Thanks

I did this promotion with them. They pay the bonus and there are really no major hassles. Their platform is really designed for high frequency traders. Doesnt matter if you are mostly parking stocks/etfs there anyway.

I received a TastyTrade bonus in 2020. Called today to ask if I was eligible and they said because I received that bonus I am not eligible for any bonus from TastyTrade.

Might want to mark this as taxable only. From the T&Cs:

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) are not eligible for the Promotion

How many days do you have to make the initial funding? Many similar offers have language around having 15 days or 30 days to make the initial funding, but I don’t see similar language in this offer.

“The Funds must be deposited as a single transaction prior to the end of the Promotional Period.” Anyone know if that’s enforced? We can’t transfer over funds from two separate brokerages, I guess, has to be all in one ACAT request?

If it’s not too far apart, just email the CS beforehand, and should be fine.

Supposed to arrive with deposited funds. Try emailing support. If you’ve received a tastyworks bonus, you can’t get a tastytrade bonus. Per support, “this is to avoid promo grifters”

Applied for an account, but was denied. First time I’ve been denied for a brokerage and the refused to give me any additional information when I asked if they needed any documents from me.

I had the same thing happen. They first sent me an email (in the middle of the night) asking for a document to verify my address and then soon after before I even saw the first email (also in the middle of the night) they sent an email saying after DD they decided to deny. I chatted with them but they basically gave me a one liner about management decision and they exited the chat immediately. Super weird.
