Risk warning: Trading carries a high risk of losing money, especially with leveraged products such as CFDs. A bonus does not reduce that risk. Only deposit what you can afford to lose.

Availability
Checking availability…The catch
The $100 referral bonus is paid as a flat cash credit with no trading-turnover requirement, but it is not immediately withdrawable. The referred friend's $1,000 minimum deposit must remain in the account for at least six months; that six-month clock starts only once all account-opening and funding requirements are met, not at account opening.
How to claim
- Sign in at my.tastytrade.com, open Manage, scroll to the Referrals section and copy your unique referral link.
- Have your friend open a new tastytrade individual, joint, entity, or trust account (not an IRA) using that link.
- Your friend funds the new account with at least $1,000 within 60 days of opening it.
- Both you and your friend each receive a $100 bonus, deposited within 45 days after the funding requirement is met.
- Keep the funds in the account for 6 months before withdrawing the bonus.
Full review
The tastytrade referral program pays a flat $100 to the existing customer who refers a friend and another $100 to the new customer. To trigger both payments, the referred person must open a new individual, joint, entity, or trust account using the referrer's unique link and deposit at least $1,000 within 60 days of opening it.
The bonuses land in each account within 45 days after the funding requirement is met. The catch is the holding period. The money cannot be touched right away: funds have to stay in the account for at least six months before the $100 bonus can be withdrawn.
IRAs are excluded, and the referred friend must be a brand new U.S. customer who has never held a tastytrade account. A single referrer is capped at 24 referral bonuses per calendar year. Eligibility is asymmetric. International tastytrade customers can act as referrers, but every referred person must reside in the United States, be 18 or older, and not be a tastytrade employee or family member.
The $100 figure is the real, fixed amount per side; tastytrade does not advertise an inflated "up to" number here.
Pros
- +Flat $100 for both the referrer and the new customer, no tiers or guessing.
- +Reasonable $1,000 minimum deposit for a U.S. brokerage cash account.
- +A referrer can earn up to 24 bonuses ($2,400) per year.
Cons
- −Bonus cannot be withdrawn until funds have been held for six months.
- −Referred friends must reside in the U.S. and have no prior tastytrade account.
- −IRAs are excluded, so retirement-account openings do not qualify.
- −Funding must happen within 60 days of opening the account.
- −Withdrawability was mislabeled as 'profits_after_turnover' but there is no turnover requirement at all; it is a flat cash credit gated only by a holding period.
- −Clawback risk: withdrawing cash below the $1,000 minimum during the 6-month hold can cause the bonus to be revoked entirely.
