Someone asks me about partner codes every couple of weeks. Usually the same question: can you get free trades or lower spreads?
No. AvaTrade doesn't charge commission on forex. You pay the spread. That's your trading cost. A partner code has no impact on spreads.
Code 128979 unlocks the deposit bonus. Additional trading capital depending on your deposit. That's all it does.
What's the bonus amount?
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. Not many traders reach that level.
British traders get £160 bonus on £800 deposits. Goes to £11,200 at the top.

Finding the partner code field
Registration page. After you enter your phone number, look for small text that says "Have a Partner Code?" with an arrow next to it. Click on that text. A text box appears. Type **128979**.
People overlook it constantly because it's hidden.
If the system rejects it, don't panic. Go ahead and register anyway. Contact support before funding. Request partner code 128979 be added. They do this manually all the time.
Bonus withdrawal conditions
You need to trade a certain volume.
About 10,000 units for every dollar of bonus. $200 bonus AvaTrade Partner Code - 128979 requires 2,000,000 units of trading volume. Can take time with smaller position sizes. Happens faster than you'd think if you're active.
Your own money stays yours. Access it whenever you need. Only the bonus has the restriction.
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.
