Ally Invest $100 Bonus
Key takeaways:
• Ally Financial is offering a $100 bonus for opening a new account.
• The new account can be either a bank or brokerage account.
• Direct deposits are required to get the $100 prize.
If you don’t yet have an Ally account and you want to score an easy $100, a new brokerage or bank account through Ally may be your ticket. Here’s how to get in on the action:
Enrolling for the Promo
To be eligible for the $100 bonus, you first must enroll for Ally’s promotion. This enrollment can be
completed through a special referral link
(
such as this one). After clicking on this link, you’ll get a promo page on Ally’s website; look for the Enroll button at the top of this page. You’ll need to provide your name, email address, and desired account type.
That desired account type could be an Ally Bank Savings Accounts, an Ally Bank Spending Account, or an Ally Invest Self-Directed Trading Account. Any other account type at Ally, including a robo account with Ally Invest, doesn’t qualify. The account must be a fully taxable account, meaning that IRAs and custodial accounts aren’t eligible. Personal Advice accounts and trust accounts won’t work, either.
For this special, you must be a new customer of Ally. Previous customers who had accounts before June 1, 2023 (but not after) are eligible.
Opening a New Account
After enrolling in the promo, the next step is to actually open an account. To do this, simply head to any Ally page and find a purple button to open a new account. You will want to make sure it is an eligible account. You must also use the same email address you used to enroll in the offer. The new account must be approved and opened within 30 days of enrolling for the special.
Requirements for a Savings Account
After opening an eligible savings account, you must set up a recurring direct deposit within 30 days of account opening. At least one deposit must be made per month for three months in a row. To establish this recurring transfer, log into the website after opening the account and click on the Transfers link in the upper-left corner. In the drop-down menu that appears, select the link for Bank Transfers. On the next page, you can set up a recurring monthly transfer from an outside account.
After the third transfer is successfully deposited into the savings account, Ally will credit the account $100.
Requirements for a Spending Account
A spending account has slightly different rules. It must receive a qualifying direct deposit within 60 days of account opening. Just one direct deposit needs to be received. In this case, a direct deposit must be an electronic deposit from an employer or benefits payer (such as military pay or Social Security).
Note well: the spending account must be funded within 30 days with any type of deposit to keep it open.
Requirements for a Brokerage Account
A brokerage account must receive at least $1,000 in total deposits of any kind. The deposits must be received within 60 days of account opening.
