Here's how it works

Using a starting Account balance of $5,000 on 2/11/2025 as an example, take these steps to qualify for the $200 bonus:

  • Deposit New Funds by 3/12/2025

    Add $25,000 in New Funds from an external source directly to your Account by 3/12/2025 11:59 PM for a total Hold Amount of $30,000. You can make one or more deposits between 2/13/2025 and 3/12/2025. Internal transfers are ineligible. Please allow for deposit processing times and hold times as it may result in not meeting the offer end date on 3/12/2025.

  • Maintain a minimum of your Hold Amount between 3/12/2025 to 5/11/2025

    Keep your Account balance at or above the Hold Amount of $30,000 until the end of the Hold Period on 5/11/2025 11:59 PM ET. You can make additional deposits or withdrawals provided the Hold Amount remains at $30,000 between 3/12/2025 and 5/11/2025.

  • Enjoy your Bonus

    If your Hold Amount is still $30,000 on 5/11/2025, your $200 bonus will be automatically credited to your account by 6/10/2025.
