People message me about partner codes all the time. Usually the same question: do you get discounted fees or free trading?
Nope. AvaTrade charges zero commission on forex. You pay the spread. The spread is the fee. A partner code has no impact on spreads.
Partner code 128979 gets you access to the deposit bonus. Extra funds in your account based on how much you put in. Nothing more complicated than that.
Bonus amounts?
Put in $1,000, receive $200 bonus.
Put in $2,000, get $400.
$5,000 to $9,999 adds $1,000.
Deposit $100,000+ and you can get up to $14,000. That's for serious capital.
UK accounts start at £160 for £800 deposited. Goes to £11,200 at the top.
Account minimum is $100. But you need $1,000 to qualify for bonus.
Where to enter the code
Registration page. After you enter your phone number, there's a small link saying "Have a Partner Code?". Click the arrow. A field drops down. Type **128979**.
People overlook it constantly because it's hidden.
Sometimes it shows as invalid, don't worry. Finish signing up. Contact support before funding. Ask them to add code 128979. They handle this regularly.
You can't withdraw the bonus straight away
A trading volume condition applies.
Roughly 10,000 units traded per $1 bonus. A $200 bonus means trading 2,000,000 units before that $200 unlocks. Slower if you're trading micro lots. Regular trading gets you there sooner than you'd expect.
The deposit belongs to you. Access it whenever you need. The bonus stays locked until you hit the volume.
One thing worth knowing: the bonus adds to your available margin even when click here locked. You can hold larger positions than your deposit alone would allow. That breathing room helps while you're learning.
