Got this targeted offer last year and signed up, met all requirements and never got the bonus. Big waste of time.

one wouldn’t actually need to make trades ? Just transfer in according to the terms and leave in cash area of the invest account ?

I don’t think you even need to keep the cash in there. Setup monthly Transfers, then move the money back out after. That’s what I am doing (so guess I’ll be a DP in the near future).

OK, GMAC 2.0.

I will NOT attempt this pot of gold unless targeted.

For those interested in parking their money in a money market fund (or any mutual fund), the following appears on the Ally website:

“Ally Invest eliminates the $9.95 mutual fund transaction fee! Access over 17,000 mutual funds with your Self-Directed Trading Account.”

Note that there is a $100 minimum order size for online mutual fund orders.

I was rejected without explanation, but magically 2 weeks later I got an email stating I was approved. I called to confirm and they confirmed I am approved. Weird.

Anyways, my email also states monthly transfer of any amount, no $50 requirement. However, I am going to transfer $50/mo just to be safe.

Same with mine. I am opening with $50 but then doing only $5 every month

1 Open an eligible Ally Invest Self-Directed Trading account or Robo Portfolio through this page by 2/22/2023.
2 Set up and start a monthly recurring transfer amount of your choice within 30 days of opening your account. Then complete at least 3 consecutive monthly transfers by 5/23/2023.
3 Keep your Ally Invest account open and in good standing to receive your $100 cash bonus on or by 6/15/2023.

How are you guys transferring new money to this?
There isn’t an ACH option.

The chat rep says that transfers from another Ally account
will meet the requirements tho.

Sam

Yes there is an ACH option.

I have a tiny Ally checking account that I have had for years. Not much activity. I was not targeted. After seeing this item on DoC, I decided to have a little fun.

I started poking around on the Ally site, clicking here and there, but not doing anything. Then I got some junk mail, and replied to some links in some of their messages. But nothing about this offer. That was about a week ago. Today I got a targeted email. Coincidence? You might think that. I couldn’t possibly comment.

Strange it was not mentioned in any of the ally invest posts here. But only US Citizens and Permanent Resident can open the account. No go for Resident Alien.

Bertrand

Yeah, this was mentioned in the Ally deposit bonus thread but definitely worth repeating here.

What’s the diff between Permanent Resident and Resident Alien. Aren’t they the same thing. Maybe you can explain to me how Ally Financial makes the distinction, because I’ve never legally understood any difference between Resident Alien and Permanent Resident. Resident Alien has been a long term that’s been around much longer than Permanent Resident. Not a US citizen and you don’t have to go to jury duty? https://www.us-immigration.com/blog/who-is-a-resident-alien/
