I got an email yesterday from the guys at Zecco.com telling me about a new promotion they have going on. As you may know Zecco used to have completely free stock trades, but apparently that wasn’t the best business model. So a few months back they decided to start charging about $4.50 for each trade – in order to keep their business a float I presume.
Zecco’s 20 free trades promotion
So, they currently have a deal going where you can get 20 free stock trades if you sign up as a new customer. I signed up with them about a year ago, but have yet to complete a trade since we have been so busy saving up for our house we are buying.
From what I have seen of Zecco, I do like them so far. They offer cheap trades, have no minimum balance, and no inactivity fees. But like I mentioned, I haven’t done any trading with them so far, so I can’t really vouch for them. Most of my trading over the last 5 years has been done with ING’s Sharebuilder, and they have been great. The features are pretty much the same as Zecco, except that they are a little bit better since they allow you to buy fractional shares – which just makes it that much easier for new and smaller investors.
So if you are interested in getting the 20 free stock trades from Zecco.com, just head on over to their site and use the promo code “bonus1″ when signing up.
More details about the promotion…
Get 20 free stock trades when you sign up with Zecco Trading!
Zecco Trading is offering 20 free stock trades — a $90 value — to all new brokerage customers who sign up by Sunday, September 13th 2009! Use promo code “bonus1” to qualify.
These free stock trades are special, because you have a whole 90 days to use them. Some other brokerages give you free equity trades to use within 30 days of signing up, so by the time you transfer money into your account, the free stock trades might have expired! With Zecco Trading, you have more time to use your free stock trades when it makes sense to trade.
Plus, these trades are completely additional to the 10 free stock trades Zecco Trading customers can earn every month when they keep a balance of $25,000 or make 25 free trades per month. And stock trading commissions at Zecco Trading are a low $4.50 each.
Be sure to use the promotion code “bonus1” when signing up. Be sure to use all lowercase or the code won’t work.
Special terms and conditions:
- New Zecco Trading accounts must be opened and approved by Sunday, September 13th, 2009.
- The 20 free stock trades will be granted on or before September 16th, 2009. The free trades will expire 90 days after the date they are granted.
- Offer not eligible to existing Zecco Trading customers.
- Limit one bonus per household.

signing up and getting the free 20 stocks for merely signing up can be a reason to raise eyebrow for the new players in the market.. however for the people who have the experience in stock trading this sounds to be a great idea.
Good deal Bob. I just signed up, a few days before the deadline. Hope I get the free trades!
