October Special Offers

Occasionally, financial services companies send me information about special offers that they want me to share with my readers.  I go through a lot of these and share the ones I think will benefit you.  I’m planning to share these offers with you periodically — I think monthly is a good pace.

Here are 5 offers for you to consider:

TradeKing $50 Sign-Up Bonus

For the month of October only, TradeKing is offering a $50 sign-up bonus that they’ll add to your brokerage account when you fund and execute your first trade ($4.95 per trade).  If you haven’t heard of TradeKing before, it’s a nationally licensed online broker. In August 2007, SmartMoney Magazine rated TradeKing the best discount online broker for the second year in a row, and best in customer service in 2008 — beating names such as Zecco, TD Ameritrade, and Charles Schwab.

To get the $50 bonus, you must use this TradeKing link.

Ebates $10 Sign-Up Bonus

For the month of October only, Ebates is offering a $10 sign-up bonus that they’ll add to your rebate account.  Ebates is an online discount coupons and rebates site that works with over 1,000+ merchants to provide you up to 25% savings on your purchase.

To get the $10 bonus, you must use this Ebates link.  Here’s an article explaining how to effectively use Ebates for online shopping.

Chase $50 Sign-Up Bonus

If you’re looking for a good reward card, Chase Freedom(SM) Credit Card is offering $50 cash back after first purchase and 3% cashback on your top 3 spending categories.  If Chase is not your preferred vendor, you can try these:

• Best Overall Credit Cards
• Best Reward Cards
• Lowest Interest Rate Cards

Free Finance Magazines

RevResponse offers free finance magazines for anyone who qualifies.  There’s a short survey that you need to complete, and if you fit their targeted demographic, you’ll be sent free magazines. Here are a few recommendations:

Credit Karma Free Credit Score

I mentioned free credit score from Credit Karma last month.  If you haven’t seen it, check out the article and head over to Credit Karma for your free score.  As usually, if you need free credit report, I like to use AnnualCreditReport.com.

Additional Offers
