Want some step by step instructions?
Step 1: View your selected stock.
At the top of the Rewards page, you’ll see the Rewards card in the middle with related information.
Your currently selected stock for rewards.
The reward percentage on eligible purchases, 2% in this example.
The minimum redemption threshold, which in this case is $1.50.
Step 2: Track your total progress.
The overview card displays a visual donut summarizing your accumulated Stock Rewards.
The number in the center represents your total lifetime rewards.
You can filter your view by month or year by clicking the dropdown labeled “All Time.”
If you participate in both Rewards and Round-ups, you can filter the view using the tabs at the top: All, Rewards, or Round-ups.
Selected Stock Details
Step 3: Explore your stock selection.
Your selected stock will automatically be displayed once you enter the "Rewards" module. Click on the "i" icon to learn more about the stock selection process.
Step 4: Browse available stocks
You can view and switch to other preapproved stocks using the Stock Pick card. These can all be viewed by scrolling through the stocks in the box on the left on your screen. Each listing includes:
A short company description
Current share price
Dividend yield
Market capitalization
Simply click “Select this stock” to change your active stock. Once selected, future Rewards and Round-ups will accumulate in the new stock. Any existing balances in previous stocks remain in your account and can still be redeemed later.
Redeeming Stock Rewards
Step 5: Redeeming your rewards!
When your accumulated rewards for a specific stock reach the minimum redemption threshold, a green “Redeem my Stock Rewards” button will appear. Click it to redeem your rewards!
Redemptions can be submitted anytime, 24/7.
If submitted outside of market hours, the transaction will show as pending and be processed when the market reopens.
If the market is open, redeemed shares typically appear in your Bits of Stock brokerage account within minutes.
c
A notification will confirm that the rewards are on their way. After redemption, your rewards for that stock reset to $0.00, and new rewards will begin accumulating from future purchases.
Please note that not all stocks will have redeemable rewards at the same time, in this example VTI still hasn’t reached the threshold. Use the arrow navigation at the bottom of the Rewards card to browse through your rewards and see which are ready to be redeemed and those that are still being accumulated.
Rewards History
Step 6: Review your rewards history
Scroll to the Rewards History section at the bottom of the module to view your entire activity log.
Here you can see:
Redemption status (pending, redeemed)
Date and time of each transaction
Type of activity (rewards, round-ups, or transfers)
Tip: You can use the filter icon in the upper-right corner to sort your history by date range or activity type. You can also use the search bar (magnifying glass) to quickly locate a specific transaction
That’s it! You now know how to:
Track and manage your Stock Rewards
Select and switch between preapproved stocks
Redeem your accumulated rewards directly into your brokerage account
View your full reward and redemption history
