How long do you have to keep your initial deposit in the account? I see in the Terms and Conditions that it says you can’t sell the stocks you won after 90 days,however, I do not see anything about the initial deposit. For instance, if I deposit $100 could I withdraw it after 15 days?
I’m wondering, could you stack the Swagbucks offer for 5,000 Swagbucks with TradeUp’s Welcome Gift? So if I make a deposit of $150, will I get 2 free stocks and 5k Swagbucks? Looking forward to your replies!

I used LightAcolyte's referral link. Here's mine:
https://tradeup.marsco.com/activity/forapp/invite/?lang=en_US&invite=9L66BP#/
Or on the first page of the application, there's a spot for the invite code: 9L66BP
It says to download the app, so I opened the link on phone, and it took me to the Play Store to install the app. I opened the app and it went back to the web browser, I clicked the Claim Your Free Stocks button again and it went to the app to sign up, and had the invite code prefilled. (They also have a Web App, but I didn't try that.)
It said it could take up to 5 days to approve the account, but I got an email in 17 minutes saying account approved.
When linking a bank account (via Plaid), if you have multiple accounts at the bank, it'll say it finished linking, and then ask you to select which account to use. It seems to have a problem with Discover currently, so I used a different bank.
