Zecco Offers $75 Refer a Friend Program

Zecco, an online discount stock brokerage firm, is offering up to $75 for each friend you refer to Zecco. And the program is really easy to use. If you currently are signed up with Zecco, just follow these steps:

• Visit http://hello.zecco.com/raf/index.html
• Fill in your name and the same e-mail address associated with your Zecco Trading account.
• Fill out or upload your friends' email addresses and a personal message.
• Click “next” then "send" and you’re one step closer to giving the gift of free trades and earning a little cash for yourself!
• They must sign-up with Zecco Trading using the same email address through which you invited them.

If your friend opens an account and funds it with $500 or more within 60 days of the account opening date, you get the referral bonus. If you don't have an eligible account to receive the cash credit you'll receive an Amazon gift certificate by email. The Amazon gift certificate will be emailed 2-4 weeks after the month your friend opened and funded their account with $500 or more.

Here are the current rewards:

• $75 cash deposit into your Zecco Trading account
• $75 Amazon.com Gift Certificate (for IRA accounts)

Zecco will pay out the reward in the first 10 business days of the following month after your friend opens and funds the Zecco Trading accounts with $500 or more.

If you want to refer friends but don't have a Zecco account, you can go to www.zecco.com to sign up.
