Just got my Sharebuilder $50 bonus
Back in the beginning of August I read this post over at mymoneyblog.com about a scheme to get a free $50 investment from 
ShareBuilder. Sounded perfect to me, but there was one problem, I wasn't a member of Costco. However a quick search on fatwallet.com turned up a similar offer for First National Bank of Omaha (there are several offers available). I am not a member of this bank either, but apparently anyone can use the offer.
So I signed up, deposited $50 into my account, bought some Microsoft stock (had the same problem that JP had with only buying $42 worth of stock).
However, the good news is I got my $50 bonus this morning so I can withdraw that and let my $42 worth of MSFT turn me into a millionaire, eventually. I think I will for now go ahead and pull out all $54 so I can say I already made a $4 profit on this endeavor.
Heres the email:
