Here’s a another Sharebuilder promotion, this time for existing customers. (New customers should grab their free $50 sign-up bonus first and then come back). Visit this page, click on “Kick-start your account” and then log into your account. Although the fine print says they take 2-4 weeks to arrive, I received immediate confirmation of my 10 free Automatic Investment credits. You must set up a new plan by January 31st, 2010.
Thank you for participating in our promotion. We have just credited your ShareBuilder Account with 10 free Automatic Investment credits. Your credit(s) will expire on 12/31/2010. Credit(s) must be used by the last Tuesday of the month in which they expire.
A reminder: These are not good for real-time trades, but for when you set up an automatic investment plan in advance to regularly buy stocks or ETFs in smaller amounts every week or month.

Link didn’t work for me in Google Reader. The promo is right on the Sharebuilder home page, though.
Thanks! Worked great for me. Nice to know I don’t have to pay my $4 for the next 10 months 🙂
Hopefully you can provide us with a code for a free real-time trade to redeem all these commission-free shares! There was one going around about a year ago.
This is a nice promotion, but I would recommend Sharebuilder anyway. It is a good discount brokerage site. Also, you can link to your ING savings account if you have one, so that is convenient.
If you are paying more than $15 per trade at any online trading site, you probably need to look at another provider.
