This bonus went away and now its back! New Charles Schwab investors can get $101 of stock slices after depositing $50 or more within 30 days.

Schwab Starter Kit [schwab.com]

The Schwab Starter Kit™ offer is only available to eligible new customers. To be eligible to receive the $101 cash bonus, you must be an individual who does not have a Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab") account (other than a Schwab Stock Plan Services account) and who: (1) opens a Schwab One individual taxable retail brokerage account and (2) deposits at least $50 into that account within 30 days of enrolling in the offer (only outside assets new to Schwab qualify; assets transferred from affiliates other than Schwab Retirement Plan Services are excluded).

The Schwab Starter Kit is intended to help you start investing. So with this offer, when you open your brokerage account, you will instruct Schwab to use the $101 cash bonus to place orders for you in the future to buy $20.20 fractional shares of each of the top 5 fractional shares by market capitalization in the S&P® 500 Index through Schwab Stock Slices™ (unless the orders are cancelled by you—see details below). The top 5 stocks will change from time-to-time. To see the top 5 fractional shares at any time, go to www.schwab.com/starterkit.

By agreeing to these terms and conditions you also agree to the Schwab Stock Slices Terms and Conditions, which you should review.

After you enroll in the offer, here's what will happen:

Two business days after your account is opened, Schwab will begin checking for qualifying deposits every business day. Once your qualifying deposit has been received, Schwab will credit the $101 cash bonus to your brokerage account at approximately 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time the next trading day. (If you make your qualifying deposit after 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time, Schwab will credit the $101 cash bonus at approximately 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time two trading days later.)
Schwab will send you an email about your 5 trade orders the night before the orders are placed.
Schwab will place the 5 orders for you ($20.20 fractional share orders for each of the top 5 stocks in the S&P 500) at approximately 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time the day the cash bonus is credited to your account, provided you maintain at least $50 in your brokerage account at that time.
You will have a short period of time (from approximately 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time until approximately 9:25 a.m. the next trading day) to cancel the orders.
To cancel the orders, you will need to go to the Order Status page on schwab.com or on any of Schwab's other trading platforms or call a Schwab representative at 800-435-4000.
If you cancel your orders, you will keep the $101 cash bonus and can save or invest it however you want.
If you take no action, the orders will be executed shortly after market open the next trading day. You will then see the fractional shares reflected in your account and Schwab will send you trade confirmations for the trades.

Quote from E4300 :
Management at Schwab is clueless when it comes to good customer service. Why must all TDA customers create a new log in ID and password? Greedy Schwab pays you virtually nothing in the sweep money market account. The transition from TDA to Shwab is an ongoing mess...three years after the merger.

My TDA SEP IRA was pushed out to Schwab last year. Reason...we no longer want to maintain SEP at TDA. No problemo...Fidelity gladly accepted the $, and deposited $1000 bonus to the account.

Tried this
But appears promotions run only during Fall, Aug or after

Bonus not credited for 4 business days, they tell me promo code not input at account opening, weird. It cannot happen when link is followed and certain to have seen it apply.
Anyone else in same boat?

After calling customer service, they logged a case, researched and finally bonus seen in the account

Because of all Schwabs "technical difficulties" over 1 week of trying to connect a bank account with no success, I caved in and deposited a $50 check. Took 1 day to deposit and immediately got email that I met the requirements for the free $101. Next 8pm run and I got the $101. Cancelled slice buys and will pull it all out now.

Basically got paid $101 to deal with all that frustration. Thanks Schwab.

Quote from Olafur :
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think that debit card is only for Schwab Bank, not Schwab Brokerage. This deal is for Schwab Brokerage, which provides a different debit card without that benefit. Is that correct?
I'm going to reply to my own post with some new information I learned.

Someone informed me that Schwab Brokerage's debit card actually does have identical benefits as Schwab Bank's, including the reimbursement of all ATM fees. They pointed to a discussion in this thread [bogleheads.org] in the Bogleheads investing forum. I have no reason to believe that multiple people in that thread would lie about the benefits of the Brokerage debit card. But the strange thing is that I cannot find the Brokerage debit card agreement so I can't verify the claims being made in that thread. The Bank debit card agreement I found easily with an internet search.

If anyone has a copy of the Schwab Brokerage debit card agreement, could you share a link to it?

There's also a Reddit thread [reddit.com] where a Schwab Brokerage user claimed to have suddenly received that card without asking for it. That's a little worrying.

Cancelled my orders last night. Have 151 in my account, will only let me transfer out 101, due to some hold on the original 50 that hopefully will be released soon.

Interesting, were you able to take the $50 out now?

I was reading all the terms and couldn't find anywhere mentioning you had to keep any money in the account for this deal. Seems like you should be able to just do the deal and take it all out right away if you want.

This is what I did. Signed up > deposited right away > Got the $101 a few days later > cancelled the orders, but put all of the money into a stock > sold the stock after making a couple dollars, just so I had at least a record of using the account > withdrew after funds settled > chatted on Fri to close account > got an email saying my account closure request was under review and would take 3 business days > waiting.
