The best deal is for the Gift of Stock package for $30, which includes a $50 ShareBuilder gift card – redeemable only into a NEW ShareBuilder Individual, Joint, or Custodial account, 5 Automatic Investment Plan credits, and The Motley Fool video series: How to Buy the Right Stocks for Your Portfolio.

The last two offers are pretty straight forward.

I personally have several ShareBuilder accounts where I manage different “fun” money accounts that I opened up and contributed to prior to meeting my wife. We now have the money in our accounts as an emergency fund should it be needed. We love the convenience of ShareBuilder’s automatic investment options, as well as the super cheap trading transactions. On top of it, every year there seem to be quite a few promotional codes one can use that gets them free trades. For someone just starting out investing, ShareBuilder really is ideal until you build up a large enough balance.
