PU Prime Coupon GET100BONUS attaches a 100% deposit bonus up to $5,000 to a funded account, and when it works it is a simple opt-in: you enter the code, you deposit, and trading credit equal to your deposit appears alongside your balance up to the ceiling. When it does not work, the cause is almost always one of a short list of structural conditions rather than a typing mistake. This article walks through those causes one at a time and explains what to check and what to change.
Start by understanding what the code actually does
Most failed applications come from a misunderstanding of the mechanism. GET100BONUS is a promotional opt-in, not a discount. It does not reduce spreads, it does not waive commission and it does not lower any fee. It adds trading credit that increases the margin available in the account without increasing the money you can withdraw. The credit is non-withdrawable and it shrinks proportionally when you withdraw from the underlying deposit.
That matters for troubleshooting because a reader expecting a fee reduction will look in the wrong place for confirmation. If you scan your spread figures for a change after applying the code, you will find nothing and conclude it failed. The correct place to look is a separate credit line beside your balance. Check there before assuming anything went wrong.
Cause one: your account type is not eligible
This is the single most common structural reason a deposit bonus does not land. PU Prime runs four tiers — Cent, Standard, Prime and ECN — and bonus promotions are usually restricted to particular account types. Brokers generally do not hand extra margin to accounts designed for high-volume professional flow, because the economics of a raw-spread, low-commission tier are different from those of a commission-free retail tier.
The tiers differ sharply in other ways too, which is why the choice deserves attention independent of the bonus. Cent has a minimum deposit around $20 and displays balances in cents, so $100 deposited shows as 10,000 cents. Standard opens from around $50 with no separate commission and spreads from roughly 1.3 pips on major pairs. Prime requires around $1,000, offers raw spreads from 0.0 pips and charges commission near $3.50 per side per lot — roughly 0.7 pips round-turn on a standard lot. ECN needs around $10,000 and charges commission near $1 per side per lot.
The fix is to confirm eligibility for the specific tier you want before you deposit, not after. If the tier you have opened is excluded, opening or switching to an eligible one is the only remedy — the code will not retroactively attach itself to an account it was never valid for.
Cause two: your jurisdiction excludes the promotion
Bonus eligibility is restricted by jurisdiction as well as by account type. PU Prime's regulation is split across entities: ASIC in Australia, the FSCA in South Africa, the FSC in Mauritius and the FSA in Seychelles. Your country of residence decides which one you contract with, and the protections attached to each differ substantially.
That split has a practical consequence for promotions. Different regulators take different views on deposit bonuses, so a promotion available to a client under one entity may simply not exist for a client under another. If the promo field rejects the code or the promotions area of the client portal does not show the offer at all, the likeliest explanation is that your entity does not run it.
Before funding anything, read which entity appears on your client agreement. It is the most consequential fact about the account and it is not the one the marketing leads with. It also tells you immediately whether chasing the bonus further is worth your time.
Cause three: identity verification is incomplete
Promotional credit is normally tied to a fully verified account. If your identity checks are still pending, the deposit may process while the bonus does not, because the promotion cannot be attached to an account that has not yet cleared onboarding. This is one of the easier problems to avoid: complete verification first, then deposit.
Documents get rejected for mundane reasons across the industry — cropped edges, glare on a photo ID, an address document that does not match the address on file, or a name spelled differently on two documents. Fixing these before you fund removes an entire class of timing problem, because you are no longer racing a deposit against a review queue.
Cause four: the code went in at the wrong point
There are two ways to claim this promotion: enter GET100BONUS in the promo code field, or opt into the promotion from the promotions area of the client portal. If you deposit first and then look for somewhere to enter a code, you may find the window has passed for that deposit. The bonus is described as matching your first deposit, so sequencing matters.
A clean order of operations avoids this entirely:
Register on the official PU Prime site and note which entity your agreement names.
Choose your account type with your realistic trading volume in mind, not your ambitions.
Confirm that account type is eligible for the deposit bonus in your country.
Complete identity verification and wait for it to clear.
Enter GET100BONUS in the promo code field, or opt in from the promotions area.
Deposit, then check the credit appears as a separate line from your balance before placing any trade.
Cause five: copy trading or other account features conflict
PU Prime layers copy trading, VPS hosting and rebate schemes on top of its platforms. Some brokers disallow promotional credit on copy-trading accounts, and finding out afterwards is unpleasant. If you intend to run copied trades, confirm both that your account type supports the feature and that the bonus promotion does not exclude accounts using it.
The same applies to rebate schemes. Where a broker offers multiple ways of returning value to a client, overlapping claims are a common source of refusal. Ask before you commit capital rather than reasoning by analogy from another broker's rules.
Cause six: you exceeded the ceiling and expected more
The offer is a 100% match up to $5,000. A deposit above that ceiling still only produces credit up to the cap, so the effective match rate falls the further past the cap you go. That is not a rejection, but it reads like a partial failure to anyone who has not registered the limit. Depositing exactly at or below the ceiling is the only way to get the full one-for-one match on every unit of money you send.
Cause seven: the credit shrank and looked like it vanished
Because the credit is removed proportionally when you withdraw from the underlying deposit, a partial withdrawal reduces the bonus line. Traders who move money in and out regularly will see the credit erode and may report it as a fault. It is the designed behaviour. The promotion suits an account you intend to leave funded rather than one you cycle money through.
Keep the bonus in proportion
Troubleshooting a promo code is worth a few minutes, but not an account decision. The comparison that determines what trading here costs you is total round-turn cost per lot. On a commission-free account the spread is the whole cost. On a raw-spread account you pay a narrower spread plus commission on both sides, and the two must be added together before any comparison means anything.
Two further costs sit outside the headline numbers. Spreads quoted as "from" a figure are best-case values from the deepest part of the session; the spread at a news release or in thin overnight hours is the one that hurts. And positions held overnight accrue financing costs that, on a multi-week hold, routinely exceed the entry spread several times over.
A short checklist before you try again
Confirm which entity holds your account and whether the promotion runs there.
Confirm your account tier is eligible before depositing, not after.
Finish identity verification and let it clear.
Enter the code, or opt in from the portal, before funding.
Keep your deposit within the $5,000 match ceiling if you want a full match.
Check for a separate credit line rather than looking for a change in spreads.
Ask about copy trading, VPS and rebate interactions if you plan to use them.
Worked through in that order, most refusals resolve into one of two answers: the tier is wrong, or the jurisdiction does not run the offer. Both are answerable in a few minutes of reading before any money moves, which is the cheapest place to find out.
Trading carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Evaluation fees are generally non-refundable unless the provider's terms state otherwise. Nothing here is financial advice.
Promotional terms, eligibility and values are set by the provider and can change at any time. Always confirm the current terms on the official site before signing up or completing a purchase.
