$100 bonus with Suze Orman’s Save Yourself TD Ameritrade Account

This is an okay deal in my book.

Open a TD Ameritrade Account through Suze Orman’s Save Yourself.

You want to deposit $50 each month for 12 months.

Which means the total amount will be $600. The account will earn you 4.59% APY, which is not bad.

At the end of your 12 months, they will deposit $100 to your account.

I guess you can look at this like a 20% return rate for your 600 dollars with the bonus and 4.59% combined.
