Sharebuilder Promotion Codes: Free Automatic Trades (Updated 2011)
Here are some promotion codes for existing Sharebuilder accounts. Sharebuilder is a discount brokerage now owned by the same folks behind ING Direct. They give out codes for various promotions, and they often work in your account even if you weren’t given the code directly.
Don’t have an account yet? Grab this $50 opening bonus first, all you have to do is deposit $50 before 12/31/11, and then add the promo codes below afterward.
(Updated 10/16 to add new code and note expired codes.)
How To Use
To enter the codes into your account, first log in to Sharebuilder, and then go to the Accounts tab > Overview > Profile & Settings > Enter Promotion tab shown below.
In the marked box, enter a code. If it works, you should see a confirmation that says something like:
Thank you for referring ShareBuilder to your friends! Your 2 real-time trades have been credited to your account and are available to use immediately.
How To Verify
To see how many free automatic trades you have, click on the top Trade > Automatic Investing and look for “You have XX Automatic Investment credits”. If you click on it, you’ll note that these may have different expiration dates. Here’s what I see:

Active Codes
3AIP
3AIP*GEJZOH (if above doesn’t work)
TAF5ANL*073t0C
Expired Codes
TAF2RA*2VvUQt
TAF2RD*c48Ugc

The new one worked for me. It gave me 5 auto trades on my joint acct as well as 5 auto trades n my indi acct. The code is verified so I know it is legit.
To bad i only use real time.
i used all promo codes on this page, none worked; the 3AIP*GEJZOH code was the only one that did not say it was expired.
It worked for me.
The code TAF5ANL*073t0C did not work for me. It says “this or related promotion” already entered. I have not entered any promotion code since 2010.
Did this work for anyone?
Thank you, M.L.
The above code TAF5ANL*073t0C expires on 11/30/2012.
As promised. A new code for 5 AIPs!

Sharebuilder is pissing me off. They used to give free real time trades a few times a year and free automatic investing trades almost weekly. THAT is why it was the #2 growing website up through 2010. I haven’t seen anything in 10 months. They also used to let you buy THEIR ETFS and Funds for free, without a charge, but I can’t find them. When you are investing $50 to $150 a month like most of Sharebuilder’s clients, these free trades are huge. Wealthier traders use other brokers so I hope they start rewarding us little guys again soon. If anyone knows of ANY real time trade codes please let me know. I’ve been sitting on several duds for many months and I’d love to sell them without wasting $10.
Looking forward to any new codes!

Promotional codes have gotten harder to come by. If I get any, I will definitely post it here.
Any new codes?
To enter promotions on the new Sharebuilder site:
1) Go the Accounts tab
2) Select the Overview drop down window
3)Select Profile and Settings
4)Select Enter Promotion
Last code is the only one that still works. Would love to get more free trades…anyone find new working codes?
Sharebuilder codes for both automatic investment credits and real time credits have gotten really scarce. I use Google every so often and can go come up with credits for opening new accounts. If anyone has come across new codes for existing customers, please share!
How do I find a Sharebuilder Code for free “real time” trades? Sharebuilder won’t let me see with the Automatic Investment credits and so it costs $10 per sale,which is ridiculous.
I just got this promo code (BDAY11)! It expires 3/31/2011. Happy New Year to all!
3AIP*GEJZOH is still valid! Does anyone have any new codes?
All expired for me ?other than the last one for “linking accounts”.
Thanks so much. Do you have anymore? Please post.. I really need it .
Looks like those have already expired
That’s so sad, I’m hoping not to miss it when they come with something new again.
Keep us posted, Great blog!
Thank you. These worked for almost all my accounts.
Thank You so much! Most of the codes worked just fine.!
Thanks! These codes worked for me yesterday.
Thank you so much!
But, I can’t seem to verify automatic trade credits. Can you tell me how? Should I already have automatic investing set up?
