Here's how it works

For example, to get the $150 bonus, if your Account Balance on 9/6/2023 is $5,000, take these steps:
  • Deposit New Funds

    Add $15,000 to your Account for a total of $20,000 by 9/29/2023 11:59PM ET. You can make one or more deposits as long as new funds total $15,000 or more by the deadline. Please be mindful of and allow for deposit processing and hold times as it may result in not meeting the "deposit by" date.
  • Maintain Balance

    Keep the new balance of $20,000 ($5,000 Account Balance + $15,000 in new funds) in your Account until 10/30/2023 11:59PM ET. You can make additional deposits or withdrawals during this hold period as long as the balance remains $20,000 or more.
  • Enjoy Bonus

    If your balance is still $20,000 or more when the hold period ends, your $150 bonus will be automatically deposited into your account by 11/30/2023.
