The tastytrade Referral Program (the “Referral Program” or the “Program”) is our way of showing you appreciation for each and every person you introduce to tastytrade. To participate in the Program you'll need an active, valid, and funded securities brokerage account at tastytrade at the time you are deemed to have made the referral and at the time you redeem your credits.

How the tastytrade Referral Program works (the "Rules")
  1. Sign in to tastytrade.com and scroll down to find the “Generate Referral Link” item found in the “Refer” panel on your home page. Click the item to generate your unique link.
  2. Share this unique referral link with relatives, friends, colleagues, and any other individual in the United States, age 18 or older, who does not currently have a securities brokerage account at tastytrade.
  3. The person you share your unique referral link with (“Referral”) will need to complete the following steps before you will earn a Referral Credit:
    1. Your Referral must come to tastytrade.com by clicking on your unique referral link.
    2. Your Referral must open a securities brokerage account at tastytrade, which includes a valid email address, and must fund that account with a minimum of $2,000.00 USD within 60 days of opening the account (see “Additional Terms and Conditions" below for details).
  4. If Your Referral is eligible for a securities account with tastytrade, and meets all of the terms and conditions of the Referral Program (“Qualified Referral”), you will receive an update to the Referral Credits count on your profile page:
    1. “Your Pending Credits” if a securities account is opened but not funded with the minimum $2,000.00 USD.
    2. “Your Redeemable Credits” when a securities account is opened and funded with the minimum $2,000.00 USD.
  5. If one of the Referral Program Thresholds listed above is met, you will receive an email notification with instructions on how to redeem your Referral Credits for the Referral Program Items listed above or how to request the cash equivalent of the qualified item. If you have an IRA account, payment will be made via check, otherwise a deposit will be made to your securities brokerage account. All Referral Credit redemptions, whether for a Referral Credit Item or cash equivalent, will be processed within 60 days from the date the redemption request is received. You do not need to redeem credits immediately, but can accumulate credits to redeem higher Referral Credit Items, as described above.
  6. Check and monitor your Qualified Referral Credits by signing in to tastytrade.com. This information will appear on your signed-in home page.
