Sharebuilder Bonus Question

Amy752 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-14-2006, 11:10 PM

I opened one account for myself and one for hubby over a month ago. I used a code to get a $50 bonus but still haven't gotten either one. I did receive emails when I signed up saying the bonus code was accepted. I am just wondering if there's something more I have to do to actually earn the bonus? I know you have to do one transaction. I did buy stock - that counts as a transaction, right? I am getting impatient, lol! Thanks for any info!

It takes a while, but you'll get it. Mine took about 10 weeks if I remember correctly.

I signed up for my ShareBuilder through Costco. After two months of active trading, I received my $85 Executive Member bonus in 8 weeks.

Give it another 4 weeks. Keep actively trading, perhaps with a few ETF's in your portfolio for diversion, then check your balance to see if the bonus is applied.

Cheers!

When I signed up, I made one transaction (bought shares in two companies) and got my bonus in about a month. It sounds like you've done the same thing. Maybe give it another week or two and then give them a call?
