Last month, online discount broker TradeKing, had a promotion which gave every new customer $50 for opening and funding a TradeKing brokerage account. From what I saw, the promotion was quite successful, like most of TradeKing’s similar promotion in the past. If you missed the one from last month, here’s an even better one. From now to the end of March, new TradeKing customer can get a $100 bonus if he or she is referred by an existing member. In order to receive the bonus, the new account must be funded with at  least $1,000 within 30 days of account opening and at least one trade has to be executed within 180 days of account opening. Account types that don’t qualify include: traditional IRA, ROTH IRA, Rollover IRA, SEP IRA, Simple IRA, Solo 401K and Coverdell IRA.

If you are interested in getting a TradeKing account, use the Contact form to request a referral link (put TradeKing referral in the subject line), open an account before the deadline and receive $50 after meeting all the conditions mentioned above. See my TradeKing review post to learn more about the broker.

Prosper, another peer-to-peer lending provider, is offering $50 cash back if you apply for a loan and get listed on Prosper before February 28th. As I mentioned early, Prosper’s borrower interest rates are quite low compared to Lending Club, another P2p lending provider, at 5.90% APR for top rated borrowers. Not too bad as an alternative.

If you are interested in getting an ING Electric Orange Checking Account, you can get a $50 bonus when you open an account with promo code EM628. Electric Orange is an interest checking account that employs tiered rates. Currently, you get 0.25% APY for balance below $50,000.

Finally, Groupon will be running a $1 for 3 DVDs offer from 12:01a Sunday, February 27 through 11:59p Tuesday, March 1, Central time zone. Blu-ray or video games are not eligible for this promotion.
