Hi, I'm brand new here, hoping for some insights

Re the barefoot investor blueprint, I have been considering it, as a very new investor with minimal knowledge, particularly as it comes with the $500 worth of trades on etrade!

This can be used within 12 months apparently, but does anyone know of other tricks to this? I read in some fine print that "you have to have an ANZ account to use etrade"; however now Bendigo has an arrangement with etrade and you can open bendigo account to procede. Barefoot investor line couldn't qualify this for me, I also got the impression talking to them that maybe you have to be a first time user of etrade to take advantage of this?

So what, even if the trades can be used through a bendigo account - if I have opened an etrade account already I would not be able to use the trades/credits?

Anyone picked up on this?

Cheers,

Chillax.
