This account also offers $75 for any fees you MAY incur when transferring $2500 in via ACATS within your first 90 days. In fact the reimbursement form does not actually ask if/what you paid to transfer in.

I was able to successfully transfer in from Fidelity (free) and received the reimbursement within 2 business days after requesting.

Did you transfer stock or cash? Wondering if cash would qualify

Thank you Bockrr It worked and I got the $75 bonus as well.  William Charles easy to do ACAT cash bonus that Bockrr mentioned should be up there as well and maybe reposted. Did 2.5K ACAT partial from Bloom savings last week of Feb and once it posted, waited a couple days and filled the form for the 75 bonus. The bonus posted exactly a week later. I was able to ACH transfer out the 2500 cash from Ally through the previously linked bank account immediately after bonus posted. So at most you lose 15 days of interest in transit on the 2.5K. I did leave the 75 bonus plus a little bit just to be safe.

We try to stick to bonuses of $100+

Understood; this could still be a $175 bonus if it is considered along with the 100 bonus that is what this thread is about. The point is people who are doing the 100 bonus may as well get the extra $75 which is a public offer.

Ah that makes sense, let me look into it!

Anyone having issues transferring funds out of Ally Invest several weeks after receiving the bonus? Sold my shares, waited for settlement, and attempted to transfer out of Invest and into my Ally checking account. Couple days went by and nothing happened. Saw comments below about leaving $10, my transfer left ~50 in the account. Nothing shows up in scheduled activity, transfer history, etc. Did receive the email confirmations though with the correct start dates.

Not sure if outgoing transfers require a larger amount to be left in the account. Tried with a smaller dollar amounts (leaving over 1k) and the transfers deducted the amount the next morning. Bit of an annoying process getting funds out

1/9 – Opened account, targeted in app
1/11 – 1st auto transfer posted
2/13 – 2nd auto transfer posted
3/12 – 3rd auto transfer posted
3/13 – $100 Bonus posted

I was also restricted about a day after opening the account. I had already set up my auto transfers, and at least they continued to work. This was the first of 3 brokerages that restricted me almost immediately until they could verify my identity. Seems they are doing the reverse of banks and opening accounts before verifying identity, pretty stupid if you ask me. Also, minor annoyance but Ally removed my account nickname so I had to call again to get it changed back from “N/A.” Bonus paid out very fast though, so all in all it was worth the hassle.

Looks like they aren’t being strict about the original recurring transfer processing successfully for 3 successive months

12/28/23 – targeted email received
12/30/23 – opened account
1/2/24 – set up recurring transfer, first transfer processed
2/2/24 – forgot to transfer another $51 into Ally Savings for the auto transfer (been storing liquid savings in MMFs holding Treasurys), 2nd transfer failed on original recurring transfer
2/2/24 – set up new recurring transfer, processed
3/4/24 – 2nd new auto transfer, 3rd overall
3/7/24 – $100 bonus posted

I received my $100 bonus on 3/1 and was notified of it by email as well. I am an existing checking customer from the GET200 offer.

11/20/23 – Received targeted email about $100 invest bonus offer
12/22/23 – Opened Self-Directed Trading account through targeted email
12/23/23 – First $50 recurring transfer posted from linked external checking account
1/23/24 – Second $50 recurring transfer posted
2/22/24 – Third $50 recurring transfer posted
3/1/24 – $100 bonus posted, email notification received

Sometime between the second and third transfer posting, my account was restricted, which I wasn’t informed of until I called in to find out why I could not access my account information online. They just wanted me to confirm some of my personal information (name, mailing address, birth date and last 4 of social), and answer 3 questions from a government database.

My account was unlocked a day or two later, and my recurring transfers and bonus posting were obviously not affected by this. I have not withdrawn any of the funds (all left as cash), nor cancelled my recurring transfers yet, but plan to before the next recurring monthly transfer date (3/22/24).

Last automated transfer completed in late Feb, $100 payout (“crossover promo”) paid out Feb 29. Will probably leave some amount in VTI or similar and decide if I want to close near the end of the year. Pretty easy $175.

I was targeted by this but when I try to sign up through the site via the email link I eventually get “Something’s not quite right.
Ally.com isn’t available now. Try back later or call us anytime.”

I’d be a lot cooler if they made it easier to give me their money.
