Do you know what exactly they do with the information you provide regarding your employment? I do not plan to buy stocks for the retail company I work for, it's just the idea of giving a company all of your information without knowing exactly what's going to happen with it that has me hesitant.

You could get in trouble with the SEC if you have a brokerage account that is not monitored by your company. Personally, I'd stay away from selecting the student or not-employed options and just provide the correct info.

You'll be notified when it's deposited into your account. As long as you were signed into ebates when you clicked on the ShareBuilder link, it should work. The deal is still active to the best of my knowledge. The $20 will take at least a week. You’ll be notified when it’s deposited into your account.

Can't get the $5 unless the $20 comes thru or I buy something else. Same problem, follwed directions, $5 from ebates, but not the $20 extra even with the link, $50 approved from Sharebuilder though.

The $25 from ebates is already in my account. I haven't received the $50 bonus from Sharebuilder yet but they sent me an email saying I qualified and that I would receive the bonus. According to the thread on fatwallet once you complete one bonus you can sign up and receive another bonus. I had a post about this in my blog last week. The $25 from ebates is already in my account.
