Heads up to anyone thinking of doing the 7500 promo. Webull support just told me the funds that were in the account from the previous account (that I withdrew days ago) WILL count toward the account balance for the new promo. So that sucks

Does Webull still have a problem retaining Cost Basis such as in this Reddit post?

Is this promotion link different? https://www.webull.com/offers-promotions/deposit

Looks like you can get 20 fractional shares along with a cash bonus and the maintenance period is 12 months.

No, I am good with parking $50,000 with Robinhood for 4%. Interest rates are not going anywhere.

If you have their Gold membership (costs $5 per month), then you will 4.5% apy on uninvested cash. I have their Gold membership anyway.

This promotion is not really intended for people who have liquid funds just laying around like you do, it’s more for people who have invested funds who want to get an added bonus on top of the increase in value of their stocks.

I happen to have $1M+ in stocks that I haven’t touched in years. For less than an hour of my time, I can rake in an extra $7500 just for moving them here. The problem is that Webull has had issues retaining cost basis in the past, so I’m trying to find out if that’s still an issue before moving my stocks over because I don’t want to deal with that headache if it’s still an issue.

Couple questions, if anyone can help:

  • I’m currently participating in the APY Booster+2% Match promo. I have about $100k in my Cash account getting 3.75% (+ 1.5% boost + 2% match). The 1.5% boost lasts through 3/9/2025.Am I correct that if I deposit $50k in assets into my WeBull brokerage account, then withdraw the $100k from my Cash account, that I will lose my Tier 3 status in the Transfer promo (due to the net balance of -$50k)?
  • If that’s the case, does it make sense to pull the $100k before transferring in funds for the Transfer promo? I don’t math so good and am struggling with the value from the Booster promo (add’l 1.5% through 3/9/2025, continued 2% match through the end of the year) vs $750 from depositing $50k in assets for the Transfer promo.
  • Terms state, “Funding” means (i) any deposit to an Eligible Customer’s Webull Account from an external account, or (ii) any transfer by an Eligible Customer to their Webull Account of assets held by the Eligible Customer in a brokerage account at an institution other than Webull or any of its affiliates using the Automated Customer Account Transfer Service. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Eligible Customer withdraws or transfers assets from their IRA account in good standing with Webull and deposits or transfers all or any portion of such assets to their Webull Account, or makes a NON-ACAT transfer from an institution other than Webull, such deposit or transfer will not be deemed a “Funding” for the purpose of these terms and conditions.” That last sentence re “NON-ACAT” confuses me as to whether I can ACH (or wire) cash in (then invest it once in WeBull) or if all funds need to be deposited via ACAT.

I have almost the same question. I accidentally “registered” for the 7500 promo BEFORE I withdrew funds from the Cash Management account from the last promo. I should have probably waited to register the new promo.
But I’m also unsure and curious whether money in Cash Management counts against us for the new promo

I think the funding amount for the Transfer promo is calculated at the end of the funding window on 2/28/25.

My concern is that if I pull funds from my Cash account now, I lose out on the remaining bonus payouts for the APY Booster & Match promo. But if I leave them intact, then the terms read like I need to leave them there through the end of the Transfer Promo.

oh perfect thank you!

and yes that’s a perfectly reasonable concern. Though in my mind, I was thinking it could be more likely the Cash account and the “brokerage” accounts are considered separate maybe but not sure. They seem like two different types of accounts and wouldn’t make too much sense if they are combined for this promo but I could be wrong.

Pretty sure the Cash account IS the brokerage account. Just means your trading with cash you have rather than borrowing on margin. *I think*

Got confirmation from Support that I’d need to leave the $100k intact through the entire Transfer promo (along with $50k for Tier 3) to receive the bonus.

What happens if my transferred assets drop in value during the hold period? Will I be bumped to a lower bonus tier?

Thank you! I didn’t see it in the terms or I may have missed it but I emailed support and will update when they answer.

Can confirm that this is a cash transfer promo.

After enrolling in the promo, there’s a button for “Make a Deposit”. The next screen shows the amount you can select, and the only sources available are debit card, external ACH, wire, and funds from your other webull account.

T&C clearly describe “funding” to include “or any transfer by an eligible customer to a Webull account of assets held by the Eligible Customer in a brokerage account at an institution other than Webull…” They then go on to state that they will reimburse up to $100 in transfer fees.

You are right, but that is the flow that I see in the app for my cash management account (which also has open stock positions). Perhaps there is an option to transfer assets if you have a margin account. Or the T&Cs were copied over from the previous promo. I’m not invested enough to probe further at this time.

If I think as a savings bank acc bonus then it’s not that good e.g. I deposit 25k, I’ll get 500 for for holding 15months?

You can buy SGOV or similar and earn around 4-5% cash back easily with minimal risk, you do not need to keep as cash.
