From their web site:
You (parent/guardian) or your teen are encouraged to consult with a tax professional about appropriate tax reporting and treatment relating to this offer and the deposit of the reward in your teen's account.
03-03-2022 at 11:45 AM
From terms and conditions https://www.fidelity.com/go/youth-account/terms-conditions

Cumulative bonus awards credited to taxable accounts associated with your teen's social security number or tax identification number, as applicable, including those held at an affiliate of Fidelity, totaling $600 or more within a calendar year will appear on their consolidated Form 1099. You and your teen are encouraged to consult with your tax professional about appropriate tax reporting and treatment relating to this bonus award and the deposit of the bonus award in your account. Any taxes resulting from the bonus award are your teen's responsibility.

A child who earns $1,150 or more (tax year 2022) in "unearned income,” such as dividends or interest, needs to file a tax return. The $50 would fall under that.

No the teen can access their account through fidelity website just like all other accounts.
03-03-2022 at 11:58 AM
My opinion: Usually the app store will let you install apps over wifi.
I don't know if the youth app is different from normal app. On the normal app I don't see a way to activate a new account. It should work to use a cell without a phone# attached. I would also try logging in on the website to create a username and password and accept the terms of service.

From Fidelity's pages:
"In order for your teen to receive the $50 reward offer, you (parent/guardian) must initiate the opening of a new Fidelity Youth Account through Fidelity.com/YouthAccount and your teen (aged 13–17) must download the Fidelity Mobile® App and activate the new account on or after January 24, 2022."

"The bonus award will be deposited directly to the eligible account within 10 calendar days after the teen has activated their account through the Fidelity Mobile App. "

"Your teen will get a push notification on their phone when the $50 reward has been deposited into their account."

Sorry for the clumsy way to put the info out there. Opened the account a few days ago after my daughter turned 13. Finished the enrollment today after they checked her ID papers. Logged into her account webpage and had the bad surprise to realize she will now be able to see the balance on two UTMA accounts in her name. Just something to be aware of.

This can be changed by contacting Fidelity and asking for a different identification number for this youth account that doesn't match directly to the child's SSN. It will then create a separate account for login purposes.

Not sure. You can check out this site for bank bonuses. https://www.hustlermoneyblog.com/best-bank-promotions/

Typically, there won't be any bonuses for minors, but you could always open another account for bonus yourself.

Some credit unions offer Youth accounts for minors that offer semester earning credits for good grades. Just depends on where you're at and what's available. You can go to the credit union's website and see if something like that is available.

Good luck!

Check local credit unions - we had one nearby that would let the kids spin a wheel of Fortune up to once per day for prizes (in person, but it was walking distance). Prizes included candy, stickers, or a free $1-$5 deposit to their account. Turned into a relatively fun and easy $100+ per year per kid for free and got them excited to leave the house and go banking... They also did 5% interest on kids accounts (max $1000 balance and available until age 13). Obviously ymmv (edit: sorry, just noticed age of post... My bad)

Per Fidelity - How long does the $50 promotional offer last? This offer is available for a limited time and Fidelity reserves the right to terminate the offer at any time.
02-17-2023 at 10:29 AM
is there a minimum account balance that needs to be met in order to get the $50 bonus?

I'm assuming they'll tie the child account to an SSN(?) which will allow them to restrict the eligible age and limit the number of promo gifts.

Good luck!

You need to upload copy of their SSN card and another form of ID at the end for verification.

It says one offer per customer. In this case is the child the customer or the adult? Can I open one for my child on my Fidelity account and have my wife open one for the same child on her Fidelity account and have my child get 2 accounts with 2 bonuses?

Open one. If you already use a low cost provider like Vanguard, then just put a small token amount into your Fidelity account. If you don't have a brokerage account anywhere, then you definitely want this. Even if you don't have extra funds to put into it, set it up initially with a very small weekly or monthly auto deposit.

Most other savings and debit card options for teens are rip-offs. This is a really good option and pretty most won't cost anything.

I'm gonna do this for our 14-yo son. I thought about getting him an account back when they were offering $100 bonus accounts for anyone but it didn't have all the youth benefits.

I've had a Fidelity account for a long time, ever since getting their 2% rebate credit card. I like Fidelity a lot and if it weren't so much hassle, would move my Vanguard money over because I greatly prefer the Fidelity website and account reporting interface.

Quote from SeikenDensetsu :
Do him a favor and ask him if he wants a bank account first.
Why even make it optional? My 11 yr old has had one (savings acct) for 7 years now... he knows that for Christmas and birthday money he spends half and saves half. He's got over 2k at this point and knows he can't touch it till he starts driving... even then it'll be emergency need only. Though we did give him alot of the money we got for him from stimulus money. His 4 year old sister is doing the same thing. Need to move them into money markets or something but I'm not overly worried about it.

It wants a mobile phone number for the teen as part of the application process. Were you able to create an account without the teen's mobile phone?
