Our Verdict
I hate deals where you don’t know if you’re in the first X customers. Because of that I’d give this deal a miss. If you’re going to do this deal then obviously do it immediately to give yourself the best possible chance. There was a similar deal for $150 for copying three traders.
Hat tip to reader Cameron C
What bank did you use to transfer? I got an offer for $500 if I trade $5k before 12/31 but I can’t find a bank that will work with them. Both Capital One and Chase decline the deposit request.
I completed this probably within an hour of the initial email. Just noticed my $200 bonus posted today.
Huh I just got this email a few minutes ago, but given the age of this post I’m not gonning to bother based on the limited offers. Hopeful it does mean people who hopped on earlier are eligible, otherwise pretty junky of them to send promotions which are already full.
I dove in and completed my BTC buy 19 minutes total after the email went out — like everyone else is saying it is aggravating having no idea if you were fast enough to make the first 250. I messaged support to see if they could determine my placement, but they just gave me a canned answer saying to wait 30 days.
Update: I just got the bonus today 😀 Very nice to see because it’s been a lot less than the 30 days they told me I would have to wait.
I did it as soon as i got the email. No indication yet if i qualify…btc promptly dropped after i bought, wiping out all the potential bonus…but it’s back up lol
Edit:
If someone wants a conspiracy theory…what if they did this to incentivice buying while they dumped?
Btc was dropping hard yesterday
With bitcoin’s allocation in wallets, that is not possible. eToro does not have that much control. What took place was a divergence, diminishing demand. Bitcoin broke into a lower trend line, that’s all.
They did release this incentive to increase demand, which they could have predicted was decreasing since the recent uptrend from March dump. Still bullish AF, but it’s alt season $LINK $ANT $REN are my bags.
I’m probably too late. I received the email at 11am EST and didn’t read it until I saw DOC’s post. It’s kind of a scam not to tell people if they qualify before dong this. I wish they would let you reserve the offer. They could just make make up any excuse to deny me. And I have not received my Swagbucks for signing up and doing 2 trades. So I will have to fight to get those credited.
This is my second try with eToro. Signed up for the 7000 offer, had to fight tooth and nail for the points, still pending after a 30 day investigation, about to give up on the pts.
The second I got the email, I deposited 2040 as etoro charges 0.1% fee. $-40. Guess we are risking $40 as well as market risk to get $200 and the limit is first 250 customers? lol I must love losing
“I must love losing”
yes, if you’re giving up the fight for the the points that you’ve already earned and are going back for more, then yes lol
