The Offer

No direct link, offer sent out via email

Schwab Brokerage is sending out an offer to some of their users to get $100 bonus if they have $5,000 direct deposited to the account by August 31, 2019.

The Fine Print

Bonus will be awarded within a week of meeting the requirement
Requires net deposit of $5,000 (transferring in and out immediately won’t work)

Update, here’s the full fine print:

To earn a $100 cash bonus, establish a new transfer through direct deposit or Schwab MoneyLink and make a total qualifying net transfer of at least $5,000 from May 23, 2019 through August 31, 2019 into a Schwab One Brokerage account in your household that has payment features enabled.
Net transfers, calculated daily, are direct deposit or MoneyLink transfers into one Schwab One brokerage account (with payment features enabled) in your household, as defined in the Charles Schwab Pricing Guide for Individual Investors, minus assets withdrawn from that account and transferred out of Schwab. Only outside assets new to Schwab qualify; assets transferred from affiliates other than Schwab Retirement Plan Services are excluded.
The cash bonus will be credited to the account within approximately one week of confirmation of your qualifying net transfer. Account must be open, active, and in good standing to receive the cash bonus.
You must maintain the $5,000 (less any market losses) at Schwab for at least one year or Schwab may charge back the cash bonus.
The offer is limited to one per account, one account per household, and is only available to enrolled Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) retail clients who have an existing Schwab One brokerage account with payment features enabled and receive an email invitation to participate. The offer does not apply to accounts managed by independent investment advisors, Schwab One brokerage accounts that do not have payment features enabled, or High Yield Investor Checking accounts.
The offer is not transferable, saleable, or valid in conjunction with certain other offers and is available to U.S. residents 18 or older only. Employees, contractors, or persons similarly associated with Schwab or a Schwab affiliate; their spouses; and employees of any securities regulatory organization or exchange are not eligible. Other restrictions may apply. Schwab reserves the right to change the offer terms or terminate the offer at any time without notice.
The cash bonus will be reported on your Form 1099-INT. Any related taxes are your responsibility.
