Below are terms of TradeKing referral offer that expires on 6/3/10.
You can offer or request TradeKing referrals on iBankDesign and Extradime brokerage referral boards.
Terms:
We’re celebrating Wall Street’s birthday — the NYSE is 218 years strong as of May 17 — with a capital limited-time offer. From now until the end of May, you’ll earn $50 for every friend you refer to TradeKing — plus your friend will earn 50 bucks, too. Everybody wins!
That’s a great trade among friends — and a perfect way to celebrate the Street’s original trading community.
Here’s how it works:
If someone you refer funds a new account with at least $1,000 and executes a trade, we’ll deposit $50 each into both accounts. (Review full eligibility rules here.)
Your friends MUST click the link in our email for us to track them and for you both to receive your rewards. But don’t worry. We tell them that in the email they’ll receive.
The sky’s the limit The more friends you refer, the more you can earn — there’s no limit. You can even track the success rate of your referrals in real time.
Heads up
You must have a non-retirement account, and you must leave the account open, with your referral money in there, for at least 6 months. If you don’t have a non-retirement account, you can open one today for FREE and start earning referral money.
Your referrals are 100% private
Refer away without worry. We don't store or use these email addresses for any purpose other than sending the referral message. Please read our privacy policy.
