datek or e*trade deals?

Throught Target.com you can get a $100 target gift card if you open a $1000 account with E*trade. Anyone know of similar-type offers?

Gomez.com has a bunch of $25-$100 deals from various trading sites. I've been leaning towards the $75 Datek deal (open for $1000). The way it works is Gomez refers you, and then sends a check out 8-10 weeks after you open the account for the referal. They have a bunch of similar bank and credit card deals too. I did one just the other night, so I couldn't tell you how reliable they are.

E*TRADE has a $75 bonus if you open an account with a $1000 minimum deposit. The bonus is deposited into your account fairly quickly (within a couple weeks) and you don't actually have to invest the money--you can keep it in a money market account. Also if you get someone else to refer you and you open up an account, the referral gets a $50 bonus (and you get your $75 bonus).
