New customer opening only one account

This offer applies to customers who (i) are opening one new E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley self-directed brokerage (non-retirement) account (“E*TRADE account”); (ii) do not have an existing E*TRADE account; and (iii) do not open any other new E*TRADE accounts for 60 days after enrollment in this offer. If you are an existing customer or plan to open more than one E*TRADE account, then please refer to the “Existing Customers or New Customers Opening More than One New Account” terms below.

Cash credits will be granted based on deposits of new funds or securities from external accounts made within 60 calendar days of account opening.

Reward tiers under $200,000 ($50-$999; $1,000-$19,999; $20,000-$99,999; $100,000-$199,999) will be paid within seven business days following the expiration of the 60-day period. However, if you deposit $200,000 or more in the new E*TRADE account, then you will receive your cash credit within seven business days after the date of your deposit, followed by any additional reward owed based on your fulfillment tier at the expiration of the 60-day period. If you have deposited at least $200,000 in the new E*TRADE account and you make subsequent deposits in that new E*TRADE account to reach a higher tier, then you will receive a second cash credit following the close of the 60-day window. For example, if you deposit $250,000 into your new E*TRADE account, then you will receive a cash credit of $800 within seven business days after the date of your deposit. Then if you deposit an additional $300,000 into your new E*TRADE account, then you will receive an additional cash credit of $200 at the end of the 60-day window for a total reward of $1,000. If you deposit $500,000 or more in your new E*TRADE account, then you will receive two cash credits that will total $1,000 within seven business days after the date of your deposit. Cash credits will be paid to the new E*TRADE account where the deposit is made.
