Nina: I agree with you that too many accounts will become a burden to manage (I have three Sharebuilder accounts myself). However, the free money is just hard to resist. Actually, you don’t really have to use the account. You can simply put $5, the minimum to get the bonus, and make only one trade to get the free money and close it later on. But I heard some rumor that one can’t have too many Sharebuilder accounts. They seem to put a limit on it.

You do know that you have to report to the IRS about your capital gain/loss in your sharebuilder account. Opening too many accounts could be a hassle to calculate your earnings in sharebuilder.

No problem at all. I have 2 accounts already under my name, and 2 custodial accounts for each of 4 kids under my name. This made the 3rd account for each of us.

And my wife has done the same – so the kids actually now have 6 accounts!

They are all tied together – so I am not trying to pull a fast one on Sharebuilder – their system allows it. If they did not want you to be able to do this it seems like all they would have to do is not allow promo codes if your account is linked to the first account.

Thanks again!

Dogberry: I am glad that you can use the code. Since there are some people saying Sharebuilder may not let you have mutiple accounts, I am not sure if you had this problem. Please let me know if you have problem getting the bonus.

Thanks for the code! I just signed up myself and 4 kids for an extra $50. I figure this is a good way to build up their college fund for free.
