I and one of my best friends both did this bonus in the past and received the bonus. Unlike other bonuses funds in HSBC’s checking and investment account both count towards the minimum amount. As a result, this is a great bonus with a nearly 4% annualized return on top of whatever your portfolio would normally generate. It has one of the highest annualized bonus of any current offer. The one downside with this bonus is that HSBC’s brokerage interface is pretty dated and hard to use. If you are a frequent trader it can be painful to use their system. Withdrawing was also a fairly manual process.

3. Webull 4% Brokerage Bonus

• Sign-up bonus: $1,500-2,500
• Fees: None: Account transfer fee in credit of $100  
• Requirements:  Deposit or transfer $2k-99.9k for a 3% bonus or $250k+ for a 4% bonus and hold the funds for 5 years. Maximum deposit for match $2m.

There are indications that this deal is not public, but I was able to pull up the link above by searching Webull and clicking on the sponsored result “Webull-Trade Stocks Online”. I would take screenshots of the bonus offer page just in case they attempt to renege on the deal.

Personally I am not planning on doing this deal. 4% is an eye popping bonus, but the 5 year hold time and payment in installments (see below) reduces the annual bonus to less than .8% a year. This is still a pretty good bonus amount, but prevents you from taking advantage of other higher return bonuses. Webull is a newer kid on the brokerage block, is publicly traded under the ticker BULL, and may have a higher shut down risk than the giant brokerages such as Merrill Lynch (Bank of America) and E-Trade (owned by Morgan Stanley). Webull like other brokers has SIPC insurance so there is little risk unless you are depositing over $500k per account.
