Free Trades
Your 90-day free trade commission period begins one business day after you either a) enter the Promotion code 5TRADE into the OLAP OR b) sign up for the promotion using the Opt-in Page. The free trades are only eligible on your Promotion Account. Trades cannot be applied on any other account.
You will receive a credit for your qualifying free trades within 45 days after the Six Month Period described herein (the “Credit”). You will be credited the value of the trade commission for equity trades placed through the BMO InvestorLine website or mobile app. The total commission credited to a Promotion Account shall not exceed the $5,000.00 CDN.
PLEASE NOTE
The account you use to qualify for the promotion cannot be funded by transferring funds from another account with BMO InvestorLine, BMO Nesbitt Burns, BMO Private Banking, or BMO Investments Inc.. This will be tracked from the beginning of the promotion period (April 16, 2015) through to the end of the Six Month Period.
The maximum Award level will be determined by the amount in the Promotion Account as of the funding date. You must maintain the net new assets (based on the calculation of all withdrawals and deposits from and to the Promotion Account) until the end of the Six Month Period to remain eligible for the Award. If during the Six Month Period your net new assets fall due to withdrawals or transfers, your Cash Award will be determined by the level of net new assets remaining in your Promotion Account. If during the Six Month Period, your net new assets fall below the minimum threshold due to market fluctuations, this will not affect the Award level. Split deposits into more than one account are not eligible.
Within the Six Month Period, your BMO InvestorLine Promotion Account must be in good standing. If the Promotion Account has, during the Six Month Period: (a) been in a debit position, (b) had margin calls, or (c) had outstanding documentation or other items, the Promotion Account may be deemed ineligible, in our sole discretion. No outstanding documentation or any other outstanding items should be pending on the Promotion Account.
You may only have one (1) Promotion Account. If you open more than one Promotion Account using the same promotion code during the Promotion Period, the following criteria in the following order will be used to select the Qualifying Account that will be the Promotion Account and will receive the Award:
This offer cannot be combined with any other BMO InvestorLine promotional offer except the Refer a Friend Promotion.
