- Get $20 when you deposit $2,500 – $4,999
The Fine Print
- You must register for the promotion at the above landing page
- Deposit must be received by 7/31/17
- Bonus will be received in 4-6 weeks
- Account value of the qualifying account must remain equal to or greater than, the value after the net deposit was made (minus any losses due to trading or market volatility or margin debit balances) for 12 months, or TD Ameritrade may charge the account for the cost of the offer at its sole discretion
- Offer Code: TAXREFUND17
Our Verdict
Presumably, you have to receive the full $2,500 or $5,000 as part of your tax refund to get the bonus, though the wording on the landing page is vague.
Not sure how many people are getting refunds that large, but if you are I’d think it’d be easy to get your tax refund into your Ameritrade account and then transfer it over to your regular checking account. Or leave it in Ameritrade if you want to do that.
