About a week ago, I received an e-mail from Zecco, an online discount broker, with details about their “Friends Program.” The short version is that you’ll get a $75 bonus or 20 free trades for each and every friend that you refer.

If you already have a Zecco account, here’s what you need to do:

• Visit http://hello.zecco.com/raf/index.html
• Enter your name and e-mail address
• Enter (or upload) the addresses of people you want to invite
• Type in a personal message (if you want)
• Send the invitation(s)

Bonuses are paid within the first 10 days of the month after your friend opens (and funds) their account. If you want to participate, but don’t have an account, you’ll have to sign up first.

Update: Use code “bonus1” when opening your account and get 20 free trades.
