If you’re thinking of opening an Interactive Brokers account, my referral link is here.

As the new account holder, you’ll receive USD 1 in IBKR stock for every USD 100 you deposit, up to USD 1,000 in shares — so a USD 10,000 deposit gets you USD 100 in IBKR stock, and the bonus is capped at USD 1,000 for deposits of USD 100,000 or more. A few other things to know: the minimum deposit to qualify is USD 10,000, done within 30 days of opening, and the bonus shares are locked up for one year from the award date. The promotion is currently active, and using the link costs you nothing extra. On a separate note, if you haven’t already, it’s worth taking a look at how IBKR’s share price has performed over the past five years — the stock you receive as a bonus isn’t just a token; it’s a stake in a company that has done quite well for its shareholders.
