OptionsHouse is currently offering ten great promotions. For a trader’s experience on their platform, see our recent OptionsHouse review. In the 2012 Barron’s Broker Survey, OptionsHouse was rated very well. From the survey, they got 4 1/2 stars out of 5 for best options traders, the same as 2011. Their commissions are also some of the lowest in the industry, at $3.95 per stock trade.

OptionsHouse Free Google Nexus 7 Promotion
This is a brand new offer. This is similar to the Kindle Fire HD promotion listed below. You need to make 15 trades in a new account. You must perform the trades within 60 days of opening the account and deposit $10,000. New customers only qualify for this promo code. The promotion is not available for retirement accounts including, among others, IRA, Roth IRA, SEP, and SIMPLE accounts; 401(k) and 403(b) workplace retirement plans; UTMAs and UGMAs; fiduciary accounts (including custodial accounts, estate accounts); college investment trust accounts; and 529 college savings plan accounts.
It’s not clear in the promotion which model they are offering, but from the terms and conditions it is Google’s $300 model. If this is true, this Nexus 7 model comes with 32GB of RAM.
OptionsHouse Free Kindle Fire HD Promotion

OptionsHouse Free Microsoft Xbox 360 Promotion
I’m sure this offer will interest the gamers out there. OptionsHouse is offering a free Microsoft Xbox 360 when signing up. The requirements are as follows:
- This promotion is available to new accounts only
- Only individual, joint, personal trust, and business accounts are eligible
- Deposit or fund at least $10,000 within 60 days of opening the account
- Make 15 commissionable trades within 90 days after funding your new OptionsHouse account
- Signup before this offer ends on December 31st, 2013
While the offer doesn’t list which specific Xbox 360 they are shipping out, I’m assuming the lowest end model (4GB). If that’s the case this promotion is equal to, $199 as listed on Amazon.
OptionsHouse Trade Free for 60 Days Offer
