The Fine Print
- The Promotion is available to (1) all approved new customers (as determined by Tax ID) who fund their tastyworks account with $5,000 USD or more, and (2) existing customers who have never funded any tastyworks account prior to the start of the Promotional Period, and who fund their existing brokerage account with $5,000 USD or more (each, a “Qualified Account”). All approved new customers and existing customers must be legal U.S. residents and ages 18+ as of the date of participation. In order to be eligible for this Promotion, approved new customers must include the Referral Code of
“TIERED_2022”“MYNEWBONUS” in the REFERRAL CODE FIELD when applying for an account, and existing customers must receive an email from Sponsor confirming they are eligible to participate in the Promotion (upon approved new customers entering the Referral Code, or existing customers funding any current account after receiving an email confirmation of eligibility, approved new customers and existing customers shall be referred to herein as a “Qualified Customer.”) The Promotion is not valid for customers who have any existing, funded tastyworks brokerage account prior to the start of the Promotional Period. IRA and TRUST accounts are not eligible for the Promotion. Only Qualified Customers with Qualified Accounts are eligible for the Cash Bonus. Employees of Sponsor and its affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, fulfillment and advertising and promotion agencies, their immediate family members (spouse, parent, child, sibling, and their respective spouses, regardless of where they reside), and those living in the same household of each such individual, whether or not related, are not eligible. - The Promotion is not open to persons who reside in any jurisdiction where tastyworks is not authorized to do business, where its products and services would be contrary to the laws, rules, and regulations governing the securities industry, the futures industry, or where otherwise prohibited under the local laws, rules, and regulations of that jurisdiction. The Promotion is not valid for internal transfers, and is not transferable, saleable, or valid in combination with certain other offers.
- Deposit amount must be maintained for a minimum of twelve months.
Our Verdict
Previously we have seen bonuses of $200 when funding $2,000 or $500 funding $10,000+. The top bonus is more but obviously requires a lot more funding. For most people I’d recommend waiting for one of the smaller deposit bonuses to return.

thanks , I will gladly pay the $75 when the one year is up. Don’t feel too secured for the small brokerage
Fair point. I saw a reddit post claiming the $575 closure fee, but I did not experience it first hand. Cheerfully withdrawn
Is that a DP? Or an assumption. In this game, policy does not equal policing. Just ask the members here with a dozen ABPs with 300k bonuses 🙂
Just a heads up that Tastytrade charges their full $75 ACATS fee for both full OR partial transfers. So be sure to consider that if you did a bonus with them or consider doing one in the future.
yes, they will claw back if you try to ACATS out early
Very low I’d say
Thanks
Wondering the same, but re-reading the terms, it seems like it should be safe to do so. Anyone else have the same read? I’d really rather transfer the little dividends received out for investment elsewhere, rather than have it sit idle or even buy more shares of anything in this terrible platform.
Yes, funded 2/8, received bonus at the end of March.
Yes, funded 2/8, received bonus at the end of March.
Anyone received the Big Deal Eligibility Confirmed email and funded 2/1/26 or after and got the bonus?
Did you receive the bonus? I funded 2/2 and have not received it.
I wonder if you can withdraw dividends throughout the year without losing any of the bonus?
Does anyone know if this 4% match bonus was offered before? I missed the offer in Jan and want to sign up if it ever comes back. Trying to guess the likelihood of it being offered again.
Of course they will claw back or simply not allow you to transfer all funds out. They paid huge bonuses and don’t you expect they charge back?
Has anyone that received a bonus from TastyTrade try to ACATS transfer their money out? Did TT penalize?
Usually the threshold is 600 or more i believe to be issued a tax form. It’s on you to report the income to the IRS if under 600 and no tax from.
i meant in general…ever…i got a bonus last yr and dont see it reported at all in my tax doc. bonus was 500
No. This would be on 2026 taxes. Not 2025 tax.
was anyone issued a tax doc about the bonus??
Why raise red flags? Just buy short term treasury ETF. I personally like SCHO for these type of deals. Reason is low share price – most I’m leaving on the table interest free is $20. I can easily add more when dividends for my main holding hit. Interface has casino vibes, I agree. Somehow I figured to place an order. But it wasn’t easy.
You will receive it soon believe me. They are solid, this email you got is your golden ticket. I got the bonus yesterday
Same. 1/16 – Opened account 1/29 – ACAT completed 3/03 – $100 referral bonus 3/20 – $10,000 bonus Can I withdraw the 10,100 bonuses? I don’t mind buying SGOV and letting it park for the year, however the interface is very confusing to me.
Just got the bonus. My initial and only deposit was via ACAT, posted on Jan 29 (initiated after 1/23).
Email I received from them in Jan said “The BIG DEAL promotion ended on 01/23 5pm CT. Because you entered the promo code before that time, your eligibility is confirmed. Fund your account with $1k or more by 03/31 to receive your promo award in accordance with the original terms”. I’ve funded in Feb because of this email. No bonus yet but being hopeful.
Missed this promo. Wondering if it comes back again lol
I have not, deposited on 1/29, still no bonus yet
Has anyone who made their initial deposit of $1,000 after 1/23 or the “promo period” been paid their bonus yet? The “BIGDEAL” code is on the account and a costumer service rep confirmed it via email – received the referral bonus of $100 but nothing yet for the actually promotional bonus. This line is concerning: “For Qualified Customers who fund a Qualified Account with an initial deposit amount of $1,000 USD or more (the “Initial Qualified Deposit”) within the Promotional Period, tastytrade will provide four percent (4%) of the value of the Qualified Customer’s Initial Qualified Deposit and all subsequent deposits into their Qualified Account made within the immediate thirty (30) calendar days following the funding date of the Initial Qualified Deposit (the “Cash Match Period”), up to a maximum Cash Match amount of $10,000 USD”
Thanks. Interesting that it is 12 months from the initial qualified deposit, not the date the deposits are made.
“The Initial Qualified Deposit and any and all subsequent deposits that are made within the Cash Match Period into a Qualified Customer’s Qualified Account and which are eligible to receive the 4% Cash Match are required to remain in the Qualified Account for a minimum of twelve (12) months starting on the date of the Initial Qualified Deposit (the “Twelve-Month Period”)” The deposit and the bonus amount all have to stay for 12 months.
