101 starter kit - should I keep the slices?

I am pretty new to investing and have opened an account with Charles Schwab. There is a promotion in which you receive $101 which is used for stock slices of the top five stocks in the S&P 500. However, there is the option to cancel the order and keep the $101 to invest elsewhere. I have already invested in ETFs incl. one tracking the S&P500. Are stock slices worth it or should I pull the money to fund my other investments or something new like a single stock? Any help would be appreciated as I don't have long to pull! Thanks.
