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.

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?

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'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.
