Sharebuilder Bonus Code

[hotcouponmama]

For those interested in opening an investment account - I personally really like sharebuilder and think they are great if you are going to be in this for the long haul.

You can either do a one time purchase or set up repeat monthly allotments. I would suggest truthfully since they are $4 a buy, that you bank your money and do quarterly buys of stocks that are good value, steady growth stocks ( I personally love food companies - everyone has to eat). Then you keep your fees down to $16 a year vs $48 (this would be for people who are only wanting to invest small amounts monthly - if you can afford to do larger buys monthly which spreads the $4 over a larger stock purchase a month - then go for it!). Sharebuilder is a bit spendy on the sell - like $15 per stock, so go with only a few stocks and stick with them and don't cash out if you can avoid it, or you will eat your earnings in the fees.

Here's the great thing. Right now, you can do an account for yourself or anyone, even custodial accounts for you kid. No minimum investment - just the amount you want to do and then the $4 buy....make $50 in the first 4 weeks by using the following code:

I have done this multiple times in the past and been funded the money like clockwork, so in essence, your investment of X + $4 = $50. If you put in $50, you are almost making 100% on your money in 30 days.

I have custodial accounts for my kids, my nephews, and a friend's son. It's a great way to turn the $20 you might have spent on a toy into an immediate $66 value.

Am I allowed to post other codes I have used and have worked for me recently?

[hotcouponmama]

Absolutely - please also put the value of the code as well - I know they range from $25 to $50. Thanks!

Here are the codes: All worth $50.00

SHAREBUILD50 (05-FEB-11)

CAMPUS50 (a barnes and noble code) (31-MAR-09)

ENTERTAIN50 (05-FEB-07)

I have applied for each one and have been approved. Note...Do Not Apply for all of these on the same day. I have heard where people have applied all at once and lost permission to use promo codes at sharebuilder. I spaced them out over the span of several weeks. All of these codes worked in november 2006. The dates after the code was the date I had to make my first investment so as not to lose the bonus $50.00. Make sure you select the basic plan too, to avoid a monthly fee. Once your bonus has cleared, you can call share builder and they will combine all of your individual accounts.

Hotcouponmama's advice about investing quartely is spot on. They have an automatic investment plan that sounds great, invest a small amount every week and watch your money grow....But....with a 4 dollar commision on every trade, you have to pick some stellar stocks to make up for that. All things considered I like my sharebuilder accounts.

Noting the date of these posts, I have a question.
Anyone know if any of these codes still work?

I am bumping these because I've heard you can open multiple accounts with promo codes and combine them, as long as you spread out your sign ups. Since it has been a few months since I signed up, I'm toying with the idea of signing DH and I each up for another sharebuilder account. In hunting around, here are some account codes I've found that were posted 7/2/08 (Credit to Blueprint for Financial Prosperity):


50GO28 $50 (new offer!)
50CITIZENS $50 (new offer!)
GIFT50 $50
50SBTV $50
HUSKERALUM45 $45
ING25JULY08 $25
MOVIES $30

When you go through the signup process, there is a part to enter promo codes. It then tells you something like "You qualify for this promotion" or something to that effect. Then after the waiting period is over (I want to say it is 60 days), the money is deposited into a money market account that is tied to your sharebuilder account.

Before I make your more confused, you do not open the MM separately or anything, its just where the money sits until you either transfer it back to the linked account (like your checking or savings) that you originally opened/funded your sharebuilder account with or you can use it to buy the stocks. Does that make sense?
