If you are interested in opening a new brokerage account, you will now have more time to qualify for TradeKing’s $50 new account bonus. The promotion was originally slated to end this week, but the brokerage has decided to extend the $50 bonus through November.

In order to qualify, open a new account at TradeKing using a link within this post, fund the account with $2,500 within 30 days (you can leave your money in the default money market fund if you’re not ready to delve into stocks), and trade at least once within 180 days. Trades are relatively inexpensive at $4.95 each. There are only a few discount brokerages that offer trades at lower prices.

When you visit TradeKing’s application, make sure you see this icon in the top right of the screen. This is how you can verify whether you are offered the $50 bonus.

TradeKing is an online brokerage featuring a low commission of $4.95. For a short time, if you open account at TradeKing, fund it with $2,500 within 30 days and make a trade within 180 days, you can earn a $50 bonus. You’ll also have to maintain a $2,500 minimum bonus for six months, otherwise TradeKing might take back the bonus.

You may have heard of TradeKing from SmartMoney. The magazine rated TradeKing the best this year in customer satisfaction. Here’s what they say: “The company recently opened a new client-service center, and the effort seems to be paying off: Live chat worked without a hitch, our e-mails got answered in a speedy average of five minutes, and a phone rep even called us back to clarify his response to one of our questions. Now, that’s service.”
