Best IRA account bonus
- Thread starter sriki
- Start date
The big ones tend to be TD and Fido. The former mainly being cash/GCs and the latter often also offers miles. One of the biggest tips that I learned from talking with the father in law about this is that they also offer these as retention bonuses..!
- Here's one for Fido https://rewards.fidelity.com/offers/friendsandfamilyoffer1
- Note that Fido also offers IRA Match, a different program, but has value: https://www.fidelity.com/about-fidelity/individual-investing/fidelity-introduces-ira-match
- Here's TD https://www.tdameritrade.com/offer/2500/

Can vouch for TD - no hassles, the cash was applied within a couple days of the funds hitting the account.

So how do you go about triggering a retention bonus? Do you have to call up and threaten to move your money?
Basically, though threatening can be a misleading term.

Yeah, but if I go that route I have to be ready to follow up on the "I'm moving my money to a competitor" if they don't have a retention offer. I guess I could always try "Your competition is offering me $600 to move my account to them. What can you do for me?"
FWIW - I'm on TD-Ameritrade and really have no beef with them...
