Partner Code 128979 for AvaTrade: What Actually Happens When You Use It

Every few weeks someone asks me about partner codes. Always the same thing: do they give you free trades or discounted spreads?

Short answer: no. AvaTrade charges zero commission on forex. You pay the spread. That's the cost. A partner code doesn't change that.

The code 128979 activates the bonus program. Extra funds in your account based on how much you put in. Simple as that.

How much do you get?

Put in $1,000, receive $200 bonus.

$2,000 adds $400.

$5,000-$9,999 earns you $1,000 bonus.

Deposit $100,000+ and you can get up to $14,000. Most people won't hit that.

UK accounts start at £160 for £800 deposited. Scales up to £11,200 maximum.

Account minimum is $100. Minimum for any bonus is $1,000.

Finding the partner code field

Registration page. Below the phone field, there's a small link saying "Have a Partner Code?". Click on that text. The field get more info expands. Type **128979**.

Most people miss it because it doesn't look like a proper form field until you click.

Sometimes it shows as invalid, don't worry. Finish signing up. Reach out to your account manager first. Request partner code 128979 be added. They handle this regularly.

Bonus withdrawal conditions

A trading volume condition applies.

Roughly 10,000 units traded per $1 bonus. A $200 bonus means trading 2,000,000 units before that $200 unlocks. Slower if you're trading micro lots. Active traders hit it quicker than expected.

Your deposit is yours. Take it out anytime. The bonus stays locked until you hit the volume.

Something useful to understand: while the bonus is locked, it still counts toward your margin. You can hold larger positions than your deposit alone would allow. That breathing room helps while you're learning.
