Tax question - Suze Orman Save Yourself account $100 bonus

[wildflowergardener]

I don't know if anyone here can help me. I generally do my own taxes via Turbotax. Suze Orman had a special deal called a save yourself account, where you put $50 a month in the account for a year, and at the end of 12 months they'd give you $100. I was trying to figure out if I needed to put that $100 on my taxes as interest, or taxable income. I don't think I'll get a 1099 for it since I didn't earn much regular interest.

Ameritrade, who runs the account is no help - can't give tax advice they say. Still it seems like if they have an account they should know if it's interest or not.

Any idea? I know I could consult a tax professional, but for only $100 it seems like an awful expense.
If I can't figure out anything else I'm just going to put it down as interest - that's what I've seen on websites of some banks who give bonuses for opening accounts.

1. seems to me that if you do not get a 1099, no need to report
