Our Verdict
Looks like the previous offer of up to $2,500 has expired, and this $1,000 deal is the new offer going forward. The tiers with the new offer are overall much better than the previous offer was. Those looking to deposit $1M+ might be disappointed in the new offer due to lack of the highest tiers.
While this offer is called a ‘referral offer’, far as I can tell you just need to use the landing page which prepopulates the promo code (NC1000) to get this offer. Remember, you need to retain the balance for at least 12 months (minus any losses/gains).
Check out our list of Best Brokerage Bonuses to compare this against other offers; this new TD offer matches the Schwab signup offer exactly. These bonuses are pretty nice at the lower $300 and $500 tiers as well with just $50k/$100k deposits required.
