just an FYI, there is one point in the application where they ask for an offer code and I couldnt find one anywhere. So I called in and they told me to use 353 (if funding with 25K).

But isnt this offer for new accounts only?

You can setup an ACH account with Ameritrade so that you can both fund and withdraw your money over the web. I have had this option active in my account for several years and find it quite convenient.

Also, though it is not a great rate, Ameritrade does pay you interest on your cash balances. I broker with BrownCo, TD Waterhouse (recently acquired by Ameritrade) and Ameritrade and I will say that the best overall broker is Ameritrade.

Welcome to Flyertalk. Note that the post you're quoting from Gary was from 2002. Things presumably have changed since then. In fact Ameritrade offers both a cash sweep (Total Asset Plan) and EFT now.

Has anyone opened an Ameritrade account, received the points, closed the account, waited a while, and then tried again? Do you think one could receive points the second time around?
