Thoughts
Not a bad offer. Watch the weird news letter requirement. To me, it reads as if we need to also sign up for that. Best join with the same email to be covered.
The amount is 25,000 now. I am glad I made it when it was just 3k. Hope they honor it!
I made the account when it was 3k but only funded today after they moved it to 25k. I would hope they honor the amount listed upon account opening.
Checked with customer service and they will honor the 3,000/300 bonus if your account was registered prior to the bonus change.
Thanks, good to know!
I assumed that would be the case. A little gift for early adopters. Still want to have a screenshot just in case 🙂
I heard that SGOV is available as an investment option. If I do this deal, which I think I will soon, then I’d invest 100% of that $3k into SGOV once there. Assuming 120 days invested into SGOV and 15 days buffer, this deal turns out to be effectively around 32% APY.
Did anyone take a screenshot of the previous tiers of 300$ for 3000$? Would you mind sending them to rkorol@outlook.com? Thanks!
