People message me about partner codes all the time. Usually the same question: can you get free trades or lower spreads?
Nope. AvaTrade doesn't charge commission on forex. You pay the spread. That's your trading cost. A partner code doesn't touch it.
Partner code 128979 gets you access to the deposit bonus. Additional trading capital depending on your deposit. Nothing more complicated than that.
What's the bonus amount?
Deposit $1,000 and get $200.
$2,000 gets you $400.
$5,000 to $9,999 adds $1,000.
Top tier is $14,000 on deposits over $100,000. That's for serious more info capital.
UK accounts start at £160 for £800 deposited. Top tier reaches £11,200.
Minimum to open an account is $100. Minimum for any bonus is $1,000.
Finding the partner code field
During registration. After you enter your phone number, you'll see small text reading "Have a Partner Code?". Click it. A text box appears. Type **128979**.
Most people miss it because it doesn't look like a proper form field until you click.
If the system rejects it, don't panic. Go ahead and register anyway. Reach out to your account manager first. Request partner code 128979 be added. They handle this regularly.
The bonus has conditions
You need to trade a certain volume.
Roughly 10,000 units traded per $1 bonus. You'd need to trade 2,000,000 units to unlock a $200 bonus. Takes a while if you trade small. Happens faster than you'd think if you're active.
Your deposit is yours. Take it out anytime. The bonus stays locked until you hit the volume.
One thing worth knowing: locked bonus funds still contribute to your margin. Allows for slightly larger trades. That breathing room helps while you're learning.
