People message me about partner codes all the time. Always the same thing: can you get free trades or lower spreads?
Nope. AvaTrade has no commission on forex trades. You pay the spread. That's the cost. A partner code won't affect it.
The code 128979 activates the bonus program. Extra funds in your account based on how much you put in. That's all it does.
What's the bonus amount?
A $1,000 deposit gets you $200.
Put in $2,000, get $400.
Deposits between $5,000 and $9,999 get $1,000.
Deposit $100,000+ and you can get up to $14,000. Not many traders reach that level.
UK accounts start at £160 for £800 deposited. Goes to £11,200 at the top.
Account minimum is $100. Bonus requires $1,000 minimum.
Where to enter the code
Registration page. Below the phone field, there's a small link saying "Have a Partner Code?". Click on that text. The field expands. Type **128979**.
Easy to miss since it's collapsed by default.
If the system rejects it, don't panic. Go ahead and register anyway. Reach out to your account manager first. Ask them to add code 128979. Standard practice for them.
There's a catch with the bonus
You need to trade a certain volume.
Around 10,000 units per dollar of bonus. A $200 bonus means trading 2,000,000 units before that $200 unlocks. Slower if you're trading micro lots. Happens faster than you'd think if you're active.
Your own money stays yours. Withdraw it whenever you want. The bonus stays website locked until you hit the volume.
One thing worth knowing: while the bonus is locked, it still counts toward your margin. This lets you take bigger positions. Newer traders benefit from that extra cushion.
