If P1 has an existing account/had an account with tatstytrade and P2 opens a joint account, will they get bonus? P2 never had account with them

Should be mentioned the holding period to receive the bonus (and not have it clawed back) is twelve months:

The initial minimum funding amount of $2,000 USD to $1,000,0000 USD deposited into a Qualified Customer’s Qualified Account is required to remain in the Qualified Account for a minimum of twelve (12) months starting the date the Qualified Account meets the funding minimum (“Twelve Month Period”)”.

Is there a household limit restriction? Thanks.

Many of you transfer in securities via ACAT and receive the bonus?

The Terms do not state the often “USD or equivalent securities”

>…fund their tastytrade account with $2,000 USD or more, and (2) existing customers who have never funded any tastytrade account prior to the start of the Promotional Period, and who fund their existing brokerage account with $2,000 USD or more

Greg P2 participated in the offer in March and was able to transfer t-bills to the account and received the bonus. The terms then had the same wording.

Note if anyone goes the t-bill route, they said they did not accept zero coupon bonds “because their values are not able to be displayed on the trading system.” Could be different now though but it’s best to ask.

TT is ok for the bonus but I’m not a fan of them as a long-term brokerage. Their website is not as full-featured as other sites. One major lacking feature is the ability to pick lots to be sold for tax purposes. The major brokerages allow this but not TT.

Which one has this may I asked? I recently transfer to Robinhood and they lumped all the stocks together and I cannot pick the lot accordingly unless manually

Schwab, Interactive Brokers, Merrill Edge, Vanguard allow it.

Not being able to choose your lots is ridiculous.

Is Tastytrade same as Tastyworks?

If I had gotten bonus from Tastyworks before, is this still churnable?

They are the same. I don’t believe it is currently churnable.

It is the same , and it never was churnable, so not sure what you mean by “still”. Once per lifetime. I wasted mine on 100 free stocks before they even had a 2k for 100k offer.

How much did they end up being worth? I also wasted mine on the $500 for 10k. However, there are some DPs that you can ask them and they will allow you to earn one of the higher tier bonuses (less your original bonus amount).

I’m going to hand $500,000+, for a year, to people who decided that TastyTrade was the best name for a brokerage?

I think not.

Well people are handing their money to Robinhood, named after a thief.

Anyway TT has been more of a credible entity than most of the newfangled brokerages that are popping up.

Why are you depositing $500k when the max bonus is for $100k deposit?

There are bonuses for 250k, 500k, and 1MM too…where do you see 100k max?

True, but also: If you have $500k and access to 5 players, you could get $10k bonuses total, vs $4k bonus for single player. God bless large families.

I’m single myself, but I do have parents and siblings, at least some of whom I trust and vice versa …

Have gotten the $500 bonus and a $500 referral bonus with both paid quickly. There have been other bonuses I’ve tried to get with a partial transfer to Tradeup and Webull but both have failed because it seems APEX clearing (tastytrade) and Omnibus systems (Webull/Tradeup) don’t do partial transfers. As a warning though – their duuble authentication system stupidly only applies to withdrawals and a few other actions – BUT NOT TO LOGGING IN even at new devices. That means someone can guess your password and get in and wreck your account with bad trades either for fun or apparently they can funnel bad trades with large spreads to their other accounts to earn a profit. I didn’t believe it but tested it with my own account and was able to log in at a random device with no authentication.

Do you have 2FA enabled on your account? Look under MyProfile>Security.

It is enabled and I have to use it to withdraw – but you can’t turn it on for logging in.

Hmm, that IS weird. Best to have a very strong password. Hopefully they have lockout for repeated failed attempts.

Have to hold the money there for over a year:

The initial minimum funding amount of $2,000 USD to $1,000,0000 USD deposited into a Qualified Customer’s Qualified Account is required to remain in the Qualified Account for a minimum of twelve (12) months starting the date the Qualified Account meets the funding minimum (“Twelve Month Period”). The value of Cash Bonus the Qualified Customer receives will be credited to its Qualified Account upon deposit, but will be automatically debited out of the Qualified Customer’s Qualified Account if the Twelve-Month Period requirement is not met.

True, but it’s not a 12-month vacation for your money. Put it to work, even if it’s just SGOV, or whatever you’d normally invest in. Bail if you find something better in the future. Seize the day.
