ShareBuilder Promotions

ShareBuilder or Capital One Investing occasionally offers incentives for customers to open new accounts.  These promotional opportunities are sometimes geared to any new customer and are sometimes only for those new customers who use a Capital One Investing partner. Some promotions are available for existing account holders that are based on minimum account balances, trading activity or other criteria.  As part of these promotions, the firm will issue a Capital OneInvesting Promo Code which consists of a specific series of numbers and/or letters that apply to certain promotions. 

Not every type of investment account will be eligible for every promotion and details can be found on each promotional disclosure.  Every promotional opportunity will involve its own unique qualifiers which can be requirements about new account deposits or transferring a certain amount of money or other security into an existing trading account from an outside source (not affiliated with CapitalOne) or transferring cash or other security between accounts.  Traders can conceivably earn two bonuses by getting one bonus for depositing funds (that meet the promotional criteria) into an existing account and another bonus for opening a new account.  Each bonus requires its own separate qualifying action which are defined in detail in each promotion’s disclosures. 

New account bonuses can be redeemed by clicking on the “Open an Account” link on the home page of CapitalOneInvesting.com.  If a trader is following a link from an outside source, the promotional code will be filled in automatically.  

Existing account owners can redeem promotional bonuses by using their Capital One Investing login to access their “Accounts” tab and then the “Overview” and “Profile & Settings” tabs.  The Accounts tab lets traders select which account they want the bonus applied to and an in-page “Enter Promotion” tab provides space for entering the Capital One Investing Promo Code, after which you click on “Submit” to complete the transaction.
